whose in charge, I just got off the phone with a company that wanted to charge me 16 dollars to ship by mail an item that weighs less than 1oz, little tiny chip.... they told me it goes by price not weight,,,,, toro caca...i say. the company will pay about 2 dollars to ship and pocket the 14 dollars,,,, not on my watch.... OK rant over
header should have read shipping.... but I was hot,mad,upset,peeved,ticked off,a tab bit of in a pickle as it were
Shipping can be a pain in the butt. If you have to drive out of your way to get the item and pay the sales tax, the shipping fee can be worthwhile.
Yeah shipping sucks!!!
When my buddy Ryan was in stationed in Germany he came home on leave and forgot his wallet!!
62.50 to mail it back to him
I know Duncan but it gripes my butt anyway,,,, and one more thing, the city of springfield has about 3 or 4 different tax areas and the big retail outlet for fishing gear is in like a 7 or 8 percent maby more and just down the road 6 percent.... :::??? go figure.
Yeah it's that way here too Beagle. It's a pain.
I called one of these places one time and they told me how much shipping and handling was, I told them not to handle it so much.

I know that if you want to ship something you can go to the Post Office and get those flat rate boxes. They are a certain price and if you can cram it in there you can ship it. Ya the big boys go by price and not wait which is a crock. You might try Grizzly Jig. I don't know if they carry chips or not. I know they sometimes use the flat rate boxes. Got some sinkers that way.
I know pearchplucker, I am thinking about getting one of them new HD lake insight fishing hot spot map chips for my locator/sonar unit, guess I will just wait. I am going to Kansas City Friday to the VA medical center may stop by Cabelas and check them out....for a chip
