It's always an issue when people can't remember things from the past. Or change their stance to be able to have uncalled for shots at other posters.

the service you post about must be available in a parallel universe.  The GSP has never been a ‘cheap’ service.  Sure, if the seller sets up their listing correctly the GSP can be a reasonably priced service, but never cheap.

The only thing I can see that is cheap is the cheap shot you have taken against another poster. Poor form that.

i also from experience would not buy from anyone who uses the global shipping program. just bought on ebay 3 small items separately lised by the same seller for a total od $89 us dollars.they would be shipped in same package.seller initially quoted $30 postage .system came up 3 separate postages totaling $98. rediculous. they said i agreed to the condition of the global service

i will bet that ebay owns this pitney bowes company.they are probably the most greedy company [ ebay] in the world.

I have just found out that the Global shipping program is optional and a US seller CAN sell outside of same program, they just need to be aware that they can.

Yes, some folks don't even know that they have been pushed into the Global Shipping Prorgram. One seller who I am dealing with now doesn't realise the some of his items are with  GSP.  He doesn't even know what GSP is and he's been around for a bit too.

i am in australia and HATE the Global Shipping System is a RIP OFF!!! we have low dollar Pay Pal conversions and now we have to pay 10% gst on the whole amount, the Global **bleep** system costs me more than EXPRESS post and takes 4 times longer, it goes all around the world with cheapest options and when it finally lands in australia it sits around with bottom priority, parcels treated like the LOWEST ODBUDGET POST OPTION.

 

 

DISGUSTING! i bought 2 bottles of shampoo from the US (which were expired : (   for $35 each, my total AUD amount was $154... someone is getting rich, and someone is getting ripped off! and now the same in the UK!!!! no where left to shop!

 

unhappy shopaholic.

Hi origindesigner, this is too much. Sorry to hear that you went though this.Good news is that sellers are realising ther loss in sales and going back to USPS again.

Sadly in our case, not happening quick enough.

I believe shampoo is available to buy in Australia. You could even get it before the use-by date.

@origindesigner,

if your shampoo didn't make your grow as long as that of Rapunzel, you were taken.

Did you not look at the total before purchasing?

Do you want some wonderful shampoo suggestions? Australian-made and owned? Sulphate- and paraben-free?

Or are US-made expired shampoos offering something that you cannot get from any other source?
