Hi Tony, as you know I dont live in the USA. But I support your anti gouging campaign on shipping.
This is so short sighted on their part. It amazes me why some companies just dont get it.
Why is it Larry can send me a flat rate box with all sorts of goodies in it that weight a great deal and have no issue with borders etc and use USPS.
Yet an internet based company cannot offer the same simple service to a customer.
This is criteria by which to judge the good guys.
I will add another crazy waste of time.
Marketers get people to sign up for lists of newsletters etc.
In that process they get your geographical info.
Yet I get these annoying FREE SHIPPING flyers from several tool companies and when i check their is no FREE SHIPPING to my desitination.
Taunton Publishing that published Fine Woodworking is a continuos culprit.
I have gone as far as to write to all these people and even call to tell them to wake up to what they are doing to their brand. But they simply dont care.
Time will tell. The power is in the hands of us consumers now. The playing fields are being leveled and only the ones with integrity will survive.
At least that is what I hope will happen.
