R270 for R25 postage + R245 packaging materials. Based on current prices that would be approximately 50 meters of bubble wrap packaging wrapped around all ten. :awesome: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/jsp/item/QuestionForTrade.jsp?Trade_TradeId=137832525 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digital Wolf 10 Posted February 26, 2014 Bidorbuy's per item shipping fee rate isn't really suited for large quantities of items. That's why I usually always ask the seller when I'm buying more than 2 or 3 - and they 99% of the time offer you a much lower price than quoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a per item fee listed as it is easier that having to always do a quote or ask for more postage etc, however it is'nt in stone, it is a guideline and I am always willing to take a look, especially for small items ! My feeling is that if someone takes the time to ask I will take the time to weigh it and give a more accurate postage price. I can't understand some of the ridiculous per additional item fees that some people ask, R25 0r R40 for extras is crazy coz then they would need to be pretty heavy !
