  If the shipping price can not be changed, what have you lost if you wait the two days? If nothing but time then I say wait

    Agreed, Waiting sucks. But will be worth it!

    No, the shipping price may be able to be changed once I speak with them… that what I am hoping (that it can be changed).

    Cheers

      Yeah, but if they say no, what have you got to lose?

        If they say no and use their 'wrong' price, then I will have to pay 50% more for shipping (that what I had expected).

        (Either way, I will apply a discount coupon, for further reductions. If I apply the coupon on their wrong price, I will pay $52 which is very close to my expected $50… Then again, if I dispute their wrong price and 'win', I would save $$$ by using the coupon on the $50.)

        So, if I pay now, I will have lost $$$, and also my faith in humanity (and the idea that the world isn't fair) :(

        i think you misunderstand me. You have nothing to lose by waiting, so wait.

  I would get it now because $52 is only $2 more than what you were expecting to pay anyway.

  You can still try and get them to fix the price later. I would bet that expensive price is correct though. A lot of stores have high normal shipping rates then they use coupons to give you the illusion of cheap shipping but it's really what it should be in the first place.

    Yes, I could pay now… is only $2 more.

    …But right now, it's more than just about the $2. It's about the morals…

    …or am I just over my head right now?

    (At what point do you stop giving a shite, and pay the wrong price?)

      Where did your $50 shipping expectation come from?

        It's my estimate, based on the package size, weight, and their pricing table.

        @inose: then it's not an issue of 'morals' or 'ethics' unless you were given a lesser quote before you purchased.

        There are all sorts of variables than can effect the cost, like tracking, insurance, timeframe, carrier, etc.

        I would have wasted 2 days (and also have lost faith in humanity).

        If you confirm the shipping cost before hand, you can avoid surprises.

        Edit: that's too harsh - you did say you used their pricing table, so you did have a justifiable expectation of cost. Hope they do sort out the price for you.

        @Thrift:

        Ah yep

        Yeah, did my initial estimation based on my package size, weight, using their calculation methods and pricing table… Have no idea how they came to their final price.

        Have sent an email asking for a recalculation and explanation.

  When I pay for something through my heart instead of my brain.
  Example, Star Citizen contribution. :|

  Could you use the discount coupon to pay less even if the shipping was reduced? Then you stand to lose a lot more than $2 and 2 days.

  Is it critical for you to have the item in the next two days or are you being impatient?
