VL Weird???

[marc2040]

I've bought 6 pairs of lenses from VL. 4 pairs and the next day 2 pairs.
After the purchase my ebay account shows 6x shipping costs.
So I've asked them for combined shipping. No reaction.
I've asked the same question again. After that they have opened 4 cases for unpaid items.
I've asked again. No reaction.

I don't know if it's allowed too write the word w@nker.

 

[i'm broke now]

that's just bad business... hope you get it worked out w/ebay

After one more email, they have sorted it out, half way

VL offers in their auctions combined shipping:

USPS First Class Mail International
US $7,50

US Postal Service Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box
US $18,00

USPS Express Mail International
US $38,00

My updated shipping costs:

USPS First Class Mail International
US $7,50

US Postal Service Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box
US $45,00

USPS Express Mail International
US $229,00

Update - New email from VL:
Unfortunately, 6 pairs will not fit in a small flat rate box. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

Then they should state that combined shipping only works for so many pairs.

Yup, the VL boxes that the lenses come in are kinda big... bigger than the Oakley lens boxes. I think at best, they'll fit 3-4 lens boxes in a small flat rate, so i think for 6 total, they're using the medium flat rate box... which is about $45.

That's the point!
