Global Shipping Program.....again

Why is there such a wide discrepancy in the cost of shipping by GSP for a similar item? Specifically, I am looking at buying a used computer (Dell To 7610) from the US. According to the search results, seller 1 charges $US1,232.61 postage, BUT his item description page says $US292.70! Seller 2, on the other hand only charges $US30.79 for a similar computer, which I find hard to believe!!

Where is the logic in all this?

Very well put Samoa. Just a shame the GSP and everything else hater that replied to you can't see things the way you do. I've had some great deals from sellers using GSP. I've also been stung in the early days. I know how not to get ripped off by the GSP!


I just love how you can't resist revealing a bit more of your agenda Tipty.


QUOTE: "GSP and everything else hater"

 

So what's the "everything else"Yes, I dislike GST as I believe it's an unjust tax. It was brought in around the same time that power, gas and other companies were privatised.  A great way to fleece the public after revenue generating public assets were privatised.     

 

And I dislike GST being applied to sales that are from everyday people selling second hand items.

I tellyou what I do strongly dislike  (Call it hate if you want) . I  strongly dislike racism and racists. I strongly dislike banking executives being given $50,000,000 (50 Mill for those who need glasses) golden handshakes. I strongly dislike banks charging fees for services that they are not dlivering which BTW: is a ploy to line the pockets of those in the banking heirachy. Oh, and I have a dislike for the actions of  those politicians that brought in the GST while making sure that those pocket-liners get away with what they do.
 

And I have a (Not as strong as I do with bankers) ,  dislike for the tactics of a  handful of members here who for quite some time have intimidated and tried to shout down the new members who come to talk about how they have been ripped off by a bad seller or a seller who claims the winning item on a low bid has been damaged and they can't supply it etc etc.  I also have a dislike for the practice employed by some members here to try and stop others from speaking out about the negative aspects of Pitney Bowes / Global Shipping and the GST.

 

Not really a hater Tipty.

I am not getting flooded out but I have no intention of even opening the front door as the wind is blowing the rain against the front of the house.  At least it is washing the windows for me.

 

I had a cardboard box delivered this morning.....just left on the doorstep.  Luckily I heard it and rescued the parcel before it was drenched.

Sun is peeping through now although there are still scuddy showers about.

We needed the rain we have had.....but it would have been better if it had been spread over a longer period.

It is the wind that is causing havoc now.....the windows are rattling despite me pushing the chocks in a bit more.
