Just received a strange response from a Dutch buyer on an order for 1 comic album. I'm not feeling well about it for a while.
See the response here "11 euros for 1 strip. ?? I send several packages up to 5 kilos to Belgium and pay less than 10 euros. Let alone letterbox post... just stick that EPPO up your ass".

Canceled the order, now just hoping I don't get any negative feedback.
This is my response to the buyer: "What a response!
Shipping costs are listed on my LastDodo pages.
The shipping costs are those of Post.nl.
Up to 2 kg, without the cover and packaging, this is 9.60 euros for shipping from Belgium to the Netherlands.
But no problem at all regarding cancellation.
Regards".

This is indeed a strange response stripverzamelaar-be and unworthy of a collector.
If there is negative feedback, simply report it to management.

Charles1971 It really upset me. I have 935 positive feedback, never a negative one, regularly send comics to the Netherlands, I have never received such a response. Okay...I can understand that he thinks the shipping costs for 1 album are too expensive, but I am really affected by the language used. He will also politely say that he wishes to cancel the purchase due to the high shipping costs. I'm really not used to such a reaction.

A nasty reaction indeed.
If you receive negative feedback on something like this, you can of course let us know and we will look into it.

Rene Isn't it a good idea to also give sellers the opportunity to provide feedback - Not extensive but simple the choice between good experience or bad experience - This way the wheat can be separated from the chaff become.

Rene Pros and cons can be reconsidered at a certain point - In the past it was possible to add text - Simply choosing a good or bad experience is not possible - With such feedback one does not burn anyone down .

Not a nice response, but I can imagine that the orderer is disappointed. Eleven Euro shipping costs for 1 strip is quite a lot. Maybe you should also see if there are cheaper options.

[edit]
The costs are on your site, but people often don't look closely.

vertigo Shipping from Belgium to the Netherlands is quite expensive via Post.nl, but any buyer can let me know in a friendly manner that he or she would like to cancel the order. I have no problem with that, and I fully understand it. It's just the way it happened.

Exactly, but shipping to a collection point with another shipper is sometimes incredibly cheap.

It's just the way it happened.


You can get very excited about this, but it won't get you anywhere. So don't dwell on it for too long and just continue selling.

Some advices for stripverzamelaar-be and all members here

Post.nl Like a post in Belgium are too expensive. To my experience in other site I bought from sellers including Dutch seller that use other private post services far less expensive around 5 € and even more reliable.

I understand perfectly that your seller was upset as you did not make any will to find cheaper post options. Nowadays a penny is a penny.

Myself I will have cancelled your order at this shipping price but of course explaining why with kind words.

Personally I sold heavy collection stamps album and I shipped with Mondial relay for 9 € instead of 25 € to use the official shipping Bpost in Belgium.

For letters I bought some Euro stamps to a stamp professional that offer them at 50 % of the nominal value so I when I can I ship the price I paid the stamps no more. Yes you can find stamps way less under their nominal value as stamps professionals buy with contract with PostNL and other countries post office between 10 % or 20 % of nominal value billion of stamps that are printed but unsold by these officials post office that resell them at wholesale prices to professionals rather than they go to fire. 

You need to rethink and improve your shipping cost.

Well, but sellers could also put their hand into their own bosom, I have inquired twice in the past 3 months, 1 had asked a number of magazines how much does it cost, etc.
Then I'll transfer that! He would send a little bit, but now I have to receive it!
Another question, can you do something with the price of 1 magazine, response price incl shipping!
I say okay, after that I never saw or heard anything again, but I took it from his shop!
Maybe he can't find it anymore
But just say that, no response
I don't deserve anything from him/her!

Dick52 stripverzamelaar-be If I was seller here I will try my best to offer free shipping for a minimum order of xx € and it is up to me to find the less expensive way to send it. 

It is possible of course only if buyer pay by bank transfer not possible if a buyer My Dutch stamps provider , a professional stamp dealer was doing very well as he put cheap delivery price half less than PostNL rate and offer free shipping above 20 €.

There are a crisis and a penny is a penny , most of collectors are not able anymore to accept crazy shipping cost. Time have change and it is just the beginning.

Frenchstamps nlae Dick52
Boys anyway.
Can the seller still decide for himself which shipping company he will work with?
And the buyer decides for himself whether he thinks shipping costs are too expensive or not.
So stripverzamelaar-be doesn't care about any of this: the 935 positive ones were willing to accept the "expensive" shipping costs or not.
And also.
For example, one buyer absolutely does not want shipping company X.
Due to bad experiences.
Someone else wants that shipping company because it is very cheap.
But just check.
"Something happens" at all shipping companies.
Some may be a little more than others.
Which I just want to say.
There is a risk with every shipment.
Even if you have it sent by registered/insured mail.
If something goes wrong, you may get your money back, but you can "whistle the whistle" about the items...

I agree if I think shipping is too expensive, I don't order anything or consult, as a rule we are old and wise enough, right?
But just like the buyer, the seller can also respond politely to a question!
And you can simply report not ordering or delivering.

Dick52 we are old and wise, shipping cost is always to put in relation with the value of what you want to buy , a 1€ order make always shipping too expensive not a 200 € order if se are logical but a collector is perhaps non logical when too passionate.

Anyway with all increase in prices years over years PostNL like in Belgium Bpost are becoming really expensive that just a fact.

I see it differently if I want an item I have an amount in mind and that includes delivery
For me, those delivery costs are part of the total I spend on it

Shipping costs are listed on my LastDodo pages.
The shipping costs are those of Post.nl.
Up to 2 kg, without the cover and packaging, this is 9.60 euros for shipping from Belgium to the Netherlands.

According to your post in this topic and the shipping costs at your shop, you ship orders to the Netherlands via Postnl. You live in Belgium close to the Dutch border.

Do I understand correctly that you deliver shipments intended for the Netherlands to a postal point in the Netherlands? Or did you mean that you send via Bpost?

If you deliver the shipments to the Netherlands at a Dutch PostNL location, I do not understand how you arrive at an amount of € 11.00 to 350 g and € 15.00 to 5 kg.

The Postnl rates (for online shipping label purchases) for shipments within the Netherlands are:

- € 4.25 Letterbox package max 2 kg to home address (Max L38 x W26.5 x H 3.2 cm)
- €5.45 Small package max 3 kg to PostNL location (Max L34 × W28 × H12 cm)
- €5.95 Small package max 3 kg to home address (Max L34 × W28 × H12 cm)
- €6.45 Average package max 10 kg to PostNL location (Max L100 × W50 × H50 cm)
- €6.95 Average package max 10 kg to home address (max L100 × W50 × H50 cm)

If you drop off a package intended for the Netherlands in the Netherlands, the domestic rates still apply and I cannot arrive at the amounts you use as shipping costs.

But maybe I misunderstand...?

Well Frenchstamps then tell me something that has not increased in price this year. (In Belgium).
Pretty much everything anyway.
Can't advertise here.
Only my health insurance contribution (at health insurance company X) has not increased.
And I think it will be no different in the Netherlands.
And whining about shipping costs...
While books and comics, for example, have also become considerably more expensive...

Would advise the buyer to go to a flea market in the future, and there are plenty of them in Belgium, he can take it immediately without costs. ;) ;)

Raoul62 I go 4 flea markets around me tyat a good reason to make a nice walk for 10 or 20 minutes or 30 minutes. It’s a leisure that cost me nothing and it’s good for the health to walk , meet in real too not like in a forum that the real collectors pleasure.

I don’t buy a lot at fleas market but when I buy usually it is only to make a true bargain my last was 20 Euros for an old album of stamps with a minimum value  in stamps on LD  shop of 600 € with quite scarce  stamps before 1900 in perfect condition. An other day it was a letter from French colonies XIX century that in auction usually is sold for 1200 € I pay it for 3 €. Ok I find something once or twice a year but that wonderful as pleasure to hunt and find.

But it is not the subject I know but it is more enjoyable that writing about shipping cost isn’t it ?

Forget my previous post from 00:57. I didn't know that in Belgium you can also ship via Postnl. be with its own rates, different from those of Postnl. NL.

I have become a little wiser again :-)
