| poopybutt Member 48 Posts 5/03 |  Posted - May 15 2007 : 6:13PMThis strikes me as a bit odd. I usually only order 3 or fewer DVDs from X-Rent at a time. The shipping charge for 3 DVDs was 5.99 (I think that's moved up in line with recent rate increases by the Post Office). What amazed me was when I added a 4th DVD to my cart, shipping charges went from 5.99 to 8.40. 2.40 for 1 additional DVD? This was a used DVD to boot, so that blew a lot of the savings I would have received by purchasing it used. I simply ended up taking the 4th DVD out of my cart and just ordered 3 instead. Maybe I'm just being a cheapskate, but an additional 2.40 in shipping charges for just 1 more DVD seems a bit much. I guess the point here is that I wish X-Rent could work out a system for Used DVD purchases so that the savings still make them a good deal when shipping costs are taken into account.

Bill  All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - May 15 2007 : 7:32PM I would suggest going with media mail if you want to order more than 3 DVD's from X-Rent. That methodology is still free. The postage rates are even odder for other mail classes. At my company, it's cheaper for us to mail two packages, each less than a pound than it is for us to mail one package that's 1.1 pounds. So, when we can, we will split ship orders to save that postage. Edited by - Bill on 5/15/2007 7:34:25 PM [Link] |
