I didn’t take any pictures yet. They are basic swim fins. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the brand as I couldn’t find any others to reference them.
Thanks just the same.
I think it’s about time for the Post Office to come up with an automated drop off point that scans your prepaid package at the same time. It seems really silly and unproductive to get in line, just to get a package scanned.
When I drop off at Fedex, I just drop it at the counter, wave to the employee and leave. There are no lines or unnecessary interaction. Just drop and go and it’s gets scanned every time.
Unfortunately having the Postal carrier pickup the package and scan it, doesn’t work for everybody in every situation.
If you actually measure those boxes they are smaller than the stated dimensions. The largest dimension is like 14.75 inches and if you don’t round up, I believe they are not oversized.
I’m not exactly sure how the post office treats them, because I usually cut them down to be safe, but I remember other people saying their Carrier told them they are not treated as oversized.
It all depends on the length of the loan and the amount borrowed. They offered me a lot more than I’m borrowing… But I agree.. cash is generally the best way to go…
13.5% to 14% is the APR, not the actual interest paid, because I have no intention of borrowing the money for the full year.
Actual Interest paid for the 3 months will be less than 3.5%…
I was right.. I goofed. For the amount of money I’m considering the interest works out to be 13.5% to 14%..
It’s not horrible, when you consider it’s instant etc. and since it’s short term, the dollar amount stays low. Realistically, I don’t think I can do better for this type of unsecured loan..
I agree with you, there are many advantages.
I’m going to have to look at it again. I automatically convert the fees to an interest rate, so that I can make sure I’m comparing Apples to Apples. In this case I think I Goofed on the math and the rate.
It may be the answer to my situation after all…
will advise..
I have to agree with Retro.. If they make no attempts to contact me within 4 days and the assistant takes over, I don’t have whole lot of sympathy for them or their situation. If they contact me before then, I can be very reasonable and forgiving.
That being said, once the assistant takes over, I get paid more than half the time, with no further action by me. I’ve been tempted to set it to 2 days, but late pays are so infrequent that I’d just as soon give them the 4 days.
There shouldn’t be any defects for the sales that have been cancelled.
The third buyer bought something I have duplicates of. I messaged him offering a larger quantity for the same price. If I have to take a shipping defect for that one, I can live with it.
It was fortunate that I figured it out when I did. It gave me the option of being proactive with the buyers, as opposed to dealing with complaints and open cases. In addition, I was able to void all the postage.
As always, thanks for the great advice and comments…
I always put the size in the title, even though it may be elsewhere. I don’t know if it makes a difference or not.
Regarding the bubble wrap:
Last week I drove to a place about 35 miles away, that sells bubble wrap in bulk. I found that if I buy four large rolls at 750 Sq Feet each. I can get them for about $22 a roll. This barely fits in my wagon, so I bought four for just under $88 total.
Since then, I’ve sold one locally for $35 and I’d like to sell one more to help with the gas etc. The remaining two, should last me a good long time.
Is $28.75 a reasonable cost for shipping or is the seller not being a smart efficient shipper?
Can you advise her on a better way to ship the items.
Yes, you would be justified in demanding her to ship the items for the agreed upon price, but maybe there is another solution.
For what it’s worth I bought the 4X4X4 from EcoSwift on Ebay. Their boxes are very light, which also means they are thin. They suited my purposes very well.
I also buy 7X5X4 Boxes from them that I place inside Flat rate Padded envelopes when I ship. These are also pretty light.
A couple of months ago I found several hundred brand new 8X4X4 boxes next to a dumpster. They are a little heavier, but hey free is free. They are perfect for shipping a rolled up T-shirt in.
I wish I had a source for free bubble wrap.. but that’s an entirely different story.
I bought some of these a while back and really don’t use them anymore. It’s a pain to get the USPS label attached due to the size.
Is there any reason you need this size? I’m sure you are aware Ebay shipping supplies has the 6X4X4 boxes.
Thanks.. that’s what I was looking for.
