You know what i am fed up off ebay sellers abroad trying to rip people off with postage, the majority charge reasonable prices but this just takes the biscuit.
I was looking to get some paul frank shorts (underwear) and saw this seller had two pairs so i asked how much shipping would be to the uk and he/she said $27 WTF! No way does it cost that much to send two small lightweight items such as this.
Jeeez i have had a jiffy bag full of figures sent over and that only cost $7, GRR some things you can only get from the usa but they do not half sting you with postage for the privaledge.

I know this bugs teh hell outta me too.... rip off merchants!
But im off to thailand in about 6 weeks and if anyone wants anything brought back, (dont take the piss now and ask for either huge things or lots of things - dont forget im backpacking
) although i gotta feeling most of teh stuff over there will be fake
Those paul frank shorts are well cool, wanted to get a pair for the misses but theyre well pricey
I like the socks too..... (is that sad)
Posted by haynesycop
Oh bugger off!
But it is so annoying i suppose if i can get them for the $10 that is a total of $45 which is around £25 and there are arounf that price each over here so it is still cheap but GRR! Don't these people know it.

that price sounds pretty good to me miss c... im sure when i looked last they were £30+
Posted by haynesycop
Yeah it isn't that bad i suppose they are rather funky. Fatreg an elephant hmmm!
What kind of stuff can you get hold off leeboy?
Posted by leeboy13
fatreg... no worries matey.... i should get two or three for teh GF
(it was camels offered for her last year, but i had no potential buyers on the camelS).. if more interest is taken into the (oh here it coes - can i spell it?) elephant (woohoo - right first time) i may consider.... Im sure twelve hours sat next to an elephant wont be too boring
Miss c, i aint got a clue.... But id imagine electroncs and accessories
the only reason i offer is coz of what you said, also i rememebr search in ebay and alot of stuff comes from therer (price is cheap as hell) but postage is huge........
But id bring some things back for some people as long as i knew they'd pay
Posted by fatreg
i dunno lee.
i think id fancy 12 hours next to something that cant speak as to 12 hours next to a whining wench!
i best do some research as to whats i thailand i may like...
ooh hows ya drugs trafficking? and yes that was a joke before anyone bans me.

*cough* *cough* fatreg... told you to use teh PM buttom with regard to class A's
(also i am joking)
I reckon there'll be real things out there too, but i know what you mean about fakes..... i rememeber my parent sacame back from turkey when i was younger - i looked liek such a pikey for teh follow year...
i mean - who on earth makes fake adidas poppers? 4 strips is clearly not 3
I will look into what i maybe able to get out there and post soemthing to offer people
(as im fearing peopel will do a 'fatreg' on me and ask for another elephant)
'whinning wench' For the record, i didnt say that She'll kick off mate

No bother i always hijack other threads i can never stay on track, so back to postage rip off's, whats the most someone has wanted to charge for something really small.
I dread getting stuff from the usa i mean say you pay $20 postage and it arrives and you can clearly see they have paid like $5 lol it sucks.
Posted by fatreg
i dont pay silly prices from the US!
have contacts over there.. hehe
but someone did want to charge me $200 to send a bike here.. i was like i can get to and from you for that much!!
fatreg
Posted by haynesycop
$200 is not bad to send a bike is it i mean that is like £100 fairly reasonable for such a big item.
Posted by fatreg
but couriers go on weight and not size... and the bike was only like 16lbs...
