I was looking around eBay tonight. I found a pair of Sidi shoes that looked like a decent buy for a second pair of rain shoes. I went to the calculator to find out how much shipping cost would be to Florida from San Diego where he is at. $36 was what came out. There is no way that can be how much UPS would charge for ground shipping. I asked the seller if that was right, and he told me there was a fee added for his time in shipping and packaging. Yeah right...about $26 from what I can gather. Leson here to me was always compute the shipping if he doesn't spell it out. The shoes will likely sell for around $75 I would guess, so that would make shipping/handling about another 50%. Rediculous. As you can imagine,he didn't add the response to my question to his auction. Check it out and get a laugh at how much it would be to ship to your house. Out of curiosity I put San Diego in to see how much it would be to ship to his own town. It was still over $19!
