| Sorry it's so long. Bought a saddle on the 2nd using PayPal, it said it would be instant but since I used my bank had to wait for the payment to clear. The girl needed the money to buy another saddle so I had her refund me then resent using my cc so it was instant on the 5th. Called me wondering why paypal took money out so I explained the fees to her, she said that was fine. Said shed split shipping with me and it shouldnt be more than 70 so to send another 35, well I decided to be nice and sent 50 as friends and family because she didnt know about the fees. Bugged her for tracking a couple times, didn't get back to me til the 10th because she was busy, said saddle is ready to ship out tomorrow. Great, make sure you get tracking. Asked for tracking again but didn't get back to me til the 15th saying she'd check in at the post office on where it was and that tracking was at home but she wasnt. Asked again where tracking was and didn't get back to me til Monday night, saying USPS screwed up and she took the saddle back and is going to ship via UPS Tuesday. Bugged her again today for tracking and she finally gave it, but is asking for more money because shipping UPS was more expensive than she thought and she got dinged 70 bucks for paypal fees. The tracking number shows nothing yet so I'm guessing it didn't go out til today, she said it'd be here Monday. Do I give her more money? I feel like I shouldn't have to due to her lack of knowledge on the whole thing but I don't know.. Ugh what a pain!

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | She said she would split the shipping with you, you already sent 50 to her, so I would send her another 10 dollars and no more, why was the shipping so much in the first place? Were is the saddle being shipped from and where is it going? |

Shipping costs have gone up. I shipped a saddle a few weeks ago and it cost the gal $109 from ND to TN via UPS. |

| Unsure why the shipping was so much, it's going from Montana to Phoenix, AZ and USPS I calculated it would be about 60. Not sure if she got insurance either, my guess is no. Probably something I should have covered but I bought this saddle while on the drive from WI to AZ so I was a little busy.
I was thinking if I do actually get the saddle and everything is good, she can refund me the 2500 and I'll send it to her via friends and family so she gets the full 2500 and I'm not out anymore money. Or if she doesnt want to do that I'll send her 10 bucks and call it good.. I feel like I've been more than fair and she's ignored me the majority of the time.. |

| So I calculated it out zip code to zip code with a 24x24x24 box which should MORE than fit that saddle and at 30lbs which is also plenty heavy and wo insurance it came out to $80. With it came out to $102. So she better have gotten insurance on it... |

Is that a 10k saddle? Sheesh... I've shipped quite a few saddles and it's never been over $80.. with insurance you might be pushing $100 but over $400?? Insane. |

| I've been selling tack and shipping things (many saddles included) for years now (since I got my license at 16 actually) and I have always been well aware of the fees, cost of shipping and importance of shipping promptly and giving a tracking number. A few times when shipping turns out to cost a little more or I feel nice becasue someone is selling me something for low, I will throw them a few extra bucks but this girl wouldn't be getting any more money from me. She should have calculated how much it would cost and have known what PayPal takes out. Plus she waited too long, had she shipped the next day I would have maybe felt a little worse but you went out of your way to redo the payment so she gets it right away and help her out, now it's her turn.
Also, if the saddle doesn't show up your CC company can disput it |

Location: In my own little world | It's the difference between sending UPS vs USPS. I seldom ship saddles UPS anymore due to them being so much more expensive. In the past I have done my homework ahead of time and ended up getting charged way more when I actually shipped. If you both agreed on half, I certainly wouldn't think twice about giving her another $10. I know if it was me I would appreciate a buyer doing that. |

See I wouldn't either, but it was her ides to change from USPS to UPS, I had it all calculated out for USPS plus gave her an extra 15 to be nice. She wants more money to cover shipping and now her paypal fees she didn't realize would come out.. That's what I have a problem with. |
