I am a frequent shopper on Goodwill.com but am getting tired of the inflated prices on shipping PLUS a handling fee.
I am a seller on Ebay and know what the costs are to ship per weight.
Yesterday, I purchased a BRA on Goodwill that was $7.99, then was charged $14.10 for shipping, IN MY HOME STATE! from Jacksonville to West Palm Beach. Plus a handling fee of $1.99.
The bra weight was clearly under a pound, and my Ebay packages of that weight cost the buyer around $4.67 with USPS ground advantage shipping. Even a USPS padded envelope is only around $8.50 with the Ebay discount.
Goodwill should negotiate with Fed EX if that is their desired shipper. but I would like to know who is getting all the extra money for shipping!
I also bought a blazer same day, and the cost of shipping to me in Florida from Kansas was $8.14, and the weight was surely more than the bra.
I'm sure that these outrageous prices are deterring a lot of folks from purchasing on Goodwill. I know that I will definitely reconsider my purchases.
PLease advise!
