UV Dome

I wanted to order one of the domes at the special price of $64.00. That really sounds reasonable to me.

I had filled out the order form but when the shipping was calculated to be $33.00....I declined. This ain't reasonable. I think that I could ship an anvil a tad cheaper than that. (three day ground is the calculated rate).

I know, it's very expensive.

Nothing we can do though. You can ship an anvil at that price, maybe, but try an anvil with the size of box we have to use.

So, I completely understand not wanting to pay that. The problem is all about the dimensions of the box. It's immediately oversized, even at only 1 or 2 pounds. That means that UPS considers it something like 30 some pounds (approximately).

I promise you we don't use shipping to try to make money. It costs what it costs.

What about the post office. My wife does a little ebay on the side and for light weight items it cost less than ups. Even Priority mail = 2day delivery is a lot less than ups if it is 4 pounds or less.

Find a rate on http://www.usps.com

Hope this might be an option for you.

What if ?, you fill up that big bowl with other Deltakits goodies & candy (combined shipping). Jeff PM me and I'll tell you where to send the commission checks.

Another solution, since the weight is rather negligable and the size is driving up the shipping cost ...

Buy several domes and the shipping cost would not increase by too much. Since they are UV resistant, they would make excellent hats :wink:

They do make excellent hats, definitely. :)

Whenever anyone buys a dome, you can add a lot of other materials for no additional SHIPPING cost.

Hmm... So, what you are saying is that I can buy a dome and get a ton of resin for no additional cost?

I may just decide to buy three domes and get three tons of resin with this deal :eusa_thin

Perhaps I exaggerated by "a ton" and also forget to put the word "shipping" before cost. It's early here! :)

Too late Jeff!!!!

I had already printed the post prior to your editing it and am sending a check ((3X $64.00) + (3x $33.00)) for 3 domes and 3 tons of resin :icon_twis :icon_twis
