Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Shipping from PA to TX costing $87.50 using USPS??
I have someone charging $87.50 to ship USPS from Jamison PA to Houston TX.. As I wrote this, the package arrived 11:56a.m. my time and the box says $30.55. Guess that answered my question... any thoughts anyone?? That is a $56.95 difference... Doesn't seem fair..

Sorry, I wasn't finished....
I would have a few questions for the seller. You have every right to at least ask them what's up. I would be curious as to what they had to say.
Good luck

Before I posted here I sent them a PM. Pending what I hear back and how that conversation goes, this might be followed up on the BOI. I feel that was shady business practices to say the least..

Unless they have one heck of a discount, or didn't ship Next Day, UPS isn't going to be that cheap from PA to TX.
It's simple enough to run the quote on UPS.com - did you bother to do that first?

I can understand that feeling. Like I said, I would also wait to see what they say.
I know some people inflate shipping costs to compensate for shipping supplies and things like paypal fees.
We do not do this ourselves and I don't necessarily agree with this, BUT even if that was the case here....it wouldn't be a $57.00 difference!
Again, good luck. I hope you can get it figured out.

Oh - that makes a HUGE difference - sorry
(but it is still easy to get a price quote on USPS.com - so, while the price range will be different, it's still a 2 minute job to find out the price)

Looks like you got billed for UPS shipping, and the seller cheaped out on you.
