    Maybe so, like I said it's just a little gripe of mine - If somebody buys a machine from me, they pay for the postage, not the postage plus a percentage to cover my petrol money, some sticky tape, the ink from the biro I used to write out the address (ok, that's being a little childish ) etc. etc.

    If you are geared up for selling a product then time, packaging materials etc. should all be factored into your initial costing - postage is the price it costs to get it to where it needs to go

    This is a thread where someone is trying to introduce some machines that he has for sale. Unless you plan on buying one from him, why do you care what he charges for shipping? I am sure that he is very versed in shipping packages all over the world, therefore having a very good clue as to how much it costs to package & ship a machine. If he works the shipping & handling into the price of the machine, what difference does it make? You still have to pay for it.
    Overall you are talking about maybe a 2pound difference between what the two of you are charging for shipping. If you have a problem coming up w/ 2 ponds or so, this is the wrong forum for you. Things can get pretty expensive around here.
