    What is a reasonable shipping cost

    I realize everyone wants to get the most from an auction but when they start charging $10 to $12.00 for shipping cost for 1 figure its gone to far.What do think a fair shipping charge should be?

    I ship my Custom figures 2to3 days Priority Flatt Rate with a Delivery Comp. It cost about 10.45 . I charge 11.00 Bucks for Shipping,.. I think it's fair, when you factor in Gas, time & Packaging expenses.

      Lame handling excuse

      Ha Ha I agree! Handling fees are a joke! I only charge a few more cents to the actual charge, sometimes i dont even do that.

      i don't throw people under the bus with shipping. I start my items out with anything like gas, " handling fee" etc already included. I charge actual shipping and use the flat rate boxes of the 9.80 form. 4.80 if i use regular boxes.
      PM boxes are free and everyone drives by a PO going somewhere so i don't scalp that price. I love the Handling fee everyone uses...very funny.
      I love to see the guys that sell trading cards for 1.00 and charge 4.80 for shipping...just guys wanting to scalp the buyers.

        I think about $6-$8 is fair enough

            If you ship USPS Priority with insurance and Sig Con ......
            10 bucks is about right.

              Anything over $8 for a single figure is a rip off in my eyes, and I won't bid on it unless I am underpaying for the figure significantly. Just my opinion, but sellers can take that for what its worth.
