[size=10pt]I've noticed this for a long time..............and it bugs me.
Why do sellers post one box of cigars for sale and display an ad that sez PLUS (whatever amount) shipping?
Are they trying to make me think I'm paying less if the cigars are ie... 100$ + 10$ shipping?
Wouldn't it be easier to just say 110$ shipped?
We already know that nobody insures them unless we're into a high dollar sale and then good luck trying to collect if anything happens.[/size]

3.99 isnt better than 4 bucks?

I will see a box or a fiver and I would like to buy and at the bottom of the page is some inflated shipping cost and I will just pass them up.
When I sold cigars I would give a price shipped and if they bought more then one I would REDUCE the price for combined shipping

Of course it is but you've missed the point.

But wait! Act now and we'll throw in another <fill in the blank> for FREE! (Just pay extra processing charge)

It's just a baby boomer way of marketing. Still not as bad as people who drop unsold items by like $2 or $4 as if there was somebody sitting on the fence precariously, waiting for a summer breeze to come by and change their life forever.

You know things are running smoothly on the board when the BZ degenerates to complaining about shipping upcharges.

So we're degenerates? for posting here?
Again...you've missed the point...no one is complaining about paying for shipping.
At least I wasn't......... ;)

Great observation. You are right on here! I'm sure like myself others have been looking at a box of $200 cigars...praying that the seller drops the price to $197 so we can pull the trigger before the next guy looking for the same big discount beats us out for the MASSIVE price reduction! :nana:

Yes, you are a degenerate.

No, it has nothing to do with your posting.
