Now that the free shipping is over at LSAH, I find myself again very distressed
about their shipping rates. Remember when we could buy all we wanted for a flat
maximum rate...I think it was like $10 or $15? This new 5% of the order total
prevents me from making orders I otherwise would. Yes, I'm sure Lego takes a
loss on shipping at these rates, but it's really not a loss overall. Obviously
they make a profit just selling wholesale or they wouldn't be in business at
all, so selling at full retail making a SIGNIFICANTLY higher profit, they should
be able to ship a little cheaper.
To further fuel my fire today I took a look at their shipping rates to other
countries around the world. ALL of these countries still have a maximum flat
rate except the U.S. and Canada. I say we organize a protest ;o)
Your thoughts.....

Also, remember -- there are different costs for selling (...) (18 years ago, 12-Dec-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) Well, people from outside NA have been protesting the exorbitant exchange rate they use to work out our set prices, but so far it's fallen on deaf ears. Good luck with yours though. ROSCO (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| (...) For some of us the rate change was a double whammy: they also began charging sales tax in states with corporate Lego stores. Shipping vs. sales tax used to be something of a wash, but now they are both there. It makes me more inclined to buy (...) (18 years ago, 13-Dec-06, to lugnet.market.shopping)
