Some people have been complaining about my postage so I felt like I had to explain this in more detail.
The reason why I don't take Media Mail is because I used that shit for the first four years of NWN's existence and it caused many delivery delays and compalints from customers. I think most people would rather pay the extra $5 and get their stuff much faster and safer. It's also much cheaper for me to use USPS supplies rather than those Uline boxes that costs me $1.30 each.
The E Commerce I use is not the best thing in the world. Because of this it does not always calculate the postage correctly. Sometimes you lose out and sometimes I lose out. I usually refund if there is a postage difference of $4 or more.
I only take three forms of US postal shipping options:
Priority Mail Domestic (all orders in the US)
Priority Mail International (over 4 pounds)
First Class Air Mail International (under 4 pounds)
Ask questions if have any.

| off topic, but i had this LP sent to me by media mail on october 12th. it was coming from illinois and i am in indiana. i'm about 5 hours away from the guy's town. needless to say, i am still waiting for it. this guy is a reliable seller on ebay, he has great feedback. anyway, anybody experience anything like this before? should i assume my LP got lost or what? |

This came up elsewhere; about using USPS boxes and turning them inside out to use to send whatever in via media. Is it really a risk? I see people doing it all the time, yet the USPS seems pretty anal about their boxes used in this way. |

Yes, it will. I have had this more than twice, that a LP arrived
after 1 or 2 Month, cause of Inspections

Than there are only 3 Options now, ok thats fine  |

No there are only two options to Europe. Air Mail or Priority Mail depending on the weight.
Media Mail is strictly for domestic parcels only and I don't use it for my mailorder due to problems with inspections. Surface Mail was eliminated for international parcels back in May 2007.

Yosuke how much money do you spend on postage a month? Im sure you have hundreds of people buying from you a month, maybe hundreds a day?

Postage on orders is about $200+ per day.
Postage on trade parcels can reach $400+.
It's not abnormal for me to spend $700+ at the post office. They like me there...

| Fuck the US Post Office. I wish you could offer an alternative like FedEx of UPS. Every time I get a package from them, they leave it on my porch if Im not home....they arent supposed to do that, they are supposed to leave a ticket so I can come get it myself. Well, they never leave a ticket like theyre supposed to. Ive called my post office 4 times telling them to stop this shit, I even have a note on my mailbox not to leave shit there if im not home....anyway, today im getting a package from NWN....im home the whole fucking day and the fucking mailman leaves a ticket this time and doesnt even knock on my door! I call the USPS to tell him to come back and he never does, I go to the Post Office to pick it up right before they close and they say "he hasnt came back yet" , I see him pull up to the Post Office with his truck and I go up to him to ask if he will give me my package.....he fucking RUNS inside with the cart of mail and now the door to the post office is locked and I cant get in to ask for my package! Im so fucking sick of dealing with the retards at the USPS, id much rather pay more money and have things shipped UPS, FedEx, DHL or anyone else. |
