Who is to say how much your/my/Cougars time is worth, and wether or not you are justified in passing this cost on to the buyer. Eg. If I make $12 an hour (Just to make the math easy!!) , and I spend 5 minutes wrapping your parcel and 5 minutes standing in the post office then the charge already stands at $2! I know that many here will certainly spend much more time an effort wrapping a parcel and a few might even make more than $12 an hour so already the costs are skyrocketing!
