Your shipping cost was $40?

Was it the only thing they sent you? Because if you received more than one thing in the package, then wouldn't you have been paying for the shipping anyways?

I'd buy it for the original price, though.

yeah huck, it was the only thing i bought... the shipping was as much as the sheets... but it seems the price i'm asking is reasonable given the absurd prices i've seen in itaewon an elsewhere.... 120000 for sheets? ouch...

Maybe you don't buy much online, but you pay by the pound for shipping. It's quite normal to have tens of dollars added in shipping costs for another heavy item.

I think it's fair for the OP to try to charge for shipping, single item or not, so long as shipping is relative to the item's size and in consideration with the rest of the package. That doesn't mean they'll get it, but it's certainly fair. Shipping is expensive and adds cost to things that you wouldn't have at home.

For the record, having one set of bedsheets (queen sized) shipped from the states is upwards of 50 dollars, and nearly 100 for a second set.

Why don't you just use them?

Wait a few months and I'm sure you'll dirty/stink up the ones you have and find an extra set will come in handy.

alright, no takers so far ... how about 55 000?

to answer those questions, my mom sent me sheets without telling me and they arrived a few days before the ones i'm selling arrived. as for the stinky factor, i find it's easier to wash sheets than replace them everytime they get smelly... Wink

you're right the 40000 for shipping was a lot, i had it shipped express... if i'd been willling to wait 3 months it could have been cheaper.
