NEED HELP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING

I went to order a pair of Flex Z mini goggles. They were 16.95. BUT they wanted 12.95 to mail them to me? Is this not a tad high I live in North Carolina. 13.00 dollars to mail a 5oz package in a little envelope from Florida. Seems a tad high so I did not get them. Do not know if that is standard shipping price on all products or not.

Shipping costs have nothing to do with C-star. They make no profit on shipping. Those charges are direct from the shipping company. USPS snail mail is cheapest in the U.S.

Just out of curiosity, was that for Fedex? Overnight?

My reality and yours are quite different.

...when products are available for sale there.

Yep. UPS is expensive. Snail mail is relatively cheap.
It IS funny though how sometimes it costs more to ship than the item is worth but that's no different than any other phone/internet order business.

In my experience, UPS and Fedex are more reliable than USPS. Plus, you have easier recourse if something is lost or damaged.

Solution:
Buys loads of stuff at one time.

HAHAHAHAH Working on that one!

Had to figure out if buying the goggles was worth skipping lunch and dinner without costing me a weekend jump.

Of course it is.

Donating blood this week to buy the book parachute and its pilot. LIFE IS GOOD!

You just outted yourself as a real skydiver.
"If I buy this, it's going to cost me X number of jumps"


Of course it is.

Yep. You'll soon be researching recipes for Ramen noodles, too.

If you're saying what I think (hope) you are saying, I'll go with that!

Good advice Amy! Run with it!
