BEWARE THE POSTAGE SCAMMERS

A reminder to buyers to be very careful of sellers who list items as "Buy it Now" for .99c and then load up the cost of postage. I recentlybought 16 small items for around $21. The items weighed under 3kg andwould have easily fitted in to a pre-paid Australia Post satchel ($9.50). The seller wanted to charge me FORTY DOLLARS postage - East coast to West coast. I settled for $30 postage, even though that was still an unashamed rip-off. The items arrived in a box weighing 2.1kg. The Australia Post charge for postage would have been NINETEEN DOLLARS 35c. Pretty GROSS huh???
