Xaxaxe wrote:Dude, enough with the $8 example. Where is that coming from? A module fits perfectly into a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope, which can be sent anywhere in the U.S. for $4.60, with free delivery comfirmation included.I'm not even sure I'm getting your argument. First class is good? Media mail is good? You've lost me.
Afrika Corps wrote:Im sorry, What part of First Class is exactly the same as Priority Mail as far as the delivery times dont you understand? 2 - 3 days delivered for dungeons and dragons modules? Its the same. AN envelope reinforced with 2 pieces of sturdy cut out cardboard is far superior and cheaper than a flimsy priority mail rate envelope.

They tried to put up a front about Titan and Tonya being separate entities when they were and are clearly the exact same business. The owner seems like a decent fellow, yet lets the most unprofessional, immature "businesswoman" imaginable constantly injure his reputation through her antics.Baffling.

Sometimes they like to charge citizens for the privilege of rifling through their stuff, but it's semi-random as they don't have the manpower to check each and every package.The fee is a base $5, and a percentage of the item's declared worth on top. Plus there'll be GST. This happens most often when the seller lists the items as "Games" instead of "Used Books", but it can pop up anytime they're bored, really. You can ask the seller to mark it as a "Gift", but you're playing with mail fraud there, technically.
