Shipping almost R200 @ zaps ?

[Necuno]

This new or was shipping always this expensive?

I'm already spending R960 and now I must dosh up almost R200 to have it ship? crazy. Where is free shipping or those days where it was only R29...

Take2 it's free, but they don't have the mat I want.
Prophecy is only R50, also no roccat sense.

Tell them to send it to the shop, I'll go fetch it and send it to you via SS if you want. Think that's R64.

What is it you're ordering? Sometimes weight gets factored in. I must say, though, R200 is still a lot regardless of what it weighs.

That's why I order most of my stuff through Take2. They ship for free. Wanted to order a game through BTGames the other day, and they told me because Stellenbosch isn't close to a major metropolitan area, it's R100. Gave them the finger for that. Seriously, screw anyone who charges for shipping when a customer orders something over R400. R29 might still be understandable, but fuck me, anything over that is ridiculous.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

1x mouse and 1x mat (kone+ / roccat sense).

It says

Post Office Speed - Overnight Counter to Counter (1) R189 (tax incl.)

Local Couriers - Overnight Courier Door To Door (1) R149 (tax incl.)

Economy Couriers - Economy Door to Door (4) R109 (tax incl.)

guessing that last one takes 4 days, I'd have to pick one of the top two which is rather ridiculous. Sure as hell not going Post Office Parcell.

Where are you based mate? Have you tried http://www.landmarkpc.co.za/store/

Nah dude. That is crazy. It would seem they are making a profit from the shipping as well and that doesn't seem right. Or it could be that they are including insurance on the parcels being couriered, but you should have the choice.

Have you tried arranging your own courier to collect and deliver to you? Phone Time Freight or similar company. Should be a damn side cheaper.

With this

Post Office Speed - Overnight Counter to Counter (1) R189 (tax incl.)

Local Couriers - Overnight Courier Door To Door (1) R149 (tax incl.)

Economy Couriers - Economy Door to Door (4) R109 (tax incl.)

Can you blame people for thinking that? Most shipping from places cost around R30 to maybe R100 if you really stretch it. Anything above that and you're either trying to profit from shipping or building a teleporter to get it to customers.
