If the customer explicitly requested standard shipping, that's on them; there's no need to issue a refund. However, if you both agreed to standard shipping beforehand, then just offer a fifty percent refund.

I haven't run into a situation like that yet. I usually just send everything via certified mail or as a standard package.

There’s no way to verify it. It might not have happened, or they could just be lying.

Yes, precisely like that

Just head over to that bank and make the deposit; you shouldn't have any trouble at all.

I just pay myself since I already get a bill for my monthly amount anyway; I just copy over the account number. That’s for the credit card, though. I'm not sure if you can do that for a standard checking account—I don't think anyone would just hand out their card number like that.

Yeah, they bumped the prices up again after that last reduction, but their website still doesn't have a way to calculate postage, which is useless to me.

boldwalker16 said:The staff at the USPS are incredibly rude. No matter what you bring in, it’s never good enough. Whether it's a bubble mailer or a massive box, they always have something to nitpick. They'll tell you that you can't use this specific envelope or insist you have to send it via certified mail instead. But the peak of their audacity was when the woman behind the counter actually asked me what was inside my bubble mailer. I mean, why does she need to know? 😲 😕 Has anyone else dealt with this? 🤷 Also, regarding the rates, the shipping rarely ends up being just $12$4.25; it almost always climbs north of $6.00 when I'm using bubble mailers.

The price depends on weight. It is more cost-effective to ship items over 12 ounces as a package; that usually brings the total to around $13-$4.75

So, aren't you going to collect the money you paid for that package?

How could I not... I sent the money, but I never received what I actually paid for... it's all just a risk to you

You aren't obligated to pick up that package if you don't want to. Shipping is high because it's COD, but I expect you'll have to pay an extra $3.25 upon arrival. Just plan on roughly $11

The price drop was always going to be short-lived. Postal services are hiking their rates to make up for the lost revenue from the tax cuts, so we're looking at returning to $5.00, if not even higher

edit - I checked the USPS website, but it still shows $12.27. I'm not sure what's happening since that’s been the standard rate, but I saw on a news site that they actually raised the prices

It isn't working at my local USPS branch, though some girls mentioned they had no issues. It seems to depend on the specific clerk you deal with.

I don't think anyone bothers with certified mail here; most people just send it as a standard package with insurance. That way, if it goes missing, you get back whatever amount you declared on the label. Usually, we all just put $27, since that’s the typical range, but when I've sent something more expensive, I make sure to list the actual value.

Sending it as a standard parcel isn't recommended; you're mixing up the terms here.
For certified mail, weight is the key factor and rates vary accordingly. Any package under 11 lbs with a value up to $27 will cost 12.27

That happened alongside the ransom payment

Come on, give me something—I’m thinking about my college roommate.
You would be better off skipping that moratorium entirely. It will just drive up your principal and end up costing you more in the long run.

Take a look at how many posts the seller actually has. I know it’s not the most important factor, but I once got burned by someone with only five or six posts on $38. It wasn't just me either—there were four of us in that group—but those instances are rare. Usually, everything goes smoothly enough.
