Shipping
I don't quite get shipping costs all the time. I understand that for the most part, in order to get the most out of shipping costs, you might as well order up a bunch of stuff at once from the place. I couldn't really do that, though, when I ordered my zip bags for samples. I only could use 1000 at a time, so that's all I ordered. $7.44. Very acceptable. Shipping? $8. So, I paid almost $16 for 1000 teeny zip bags. Ok, fine.
Fast forward.....I got the package with my bags today (very quick, I might add!)....
in a flat rate Priority Envelope. The postage on the package said $.62. Then, there 7 $.69 stamps on it. Anyone else confused by this? What happened to the $8?

I was busy mocking the labels and managed to damage a few of the zip bags, ironically. Good thing there's 1000 of 'em. Still, if I run low, I know where to go for really speedy (albeit shady) shipping.....

Love it! At least you're looking at the amusing side of the situation. I can't believe they can rip you off on shipping like that!

I've noticed quite often that the shipping costs I'm charged can be several dollars more than the actual cost to ship it, I figure they're trying to get more money out of you for "handling". Sometimes I thinks it's legitimate- other times it's really ridiculous!
