planet shipping

[ericostani]

why is it that planet charge loads for shippng? more than any other site!
i wanted a 12 " barrel, a squeegie, a delrin bolt and a drop the other day and it was gonna cost me about 12 pounds for shipping! not rite!
it cost me 6 quid to send an impulse with 2 barrels the other day in a huge box!

i thought that, but when i ordered the shipping was actually something like £5...which is still a bit...but like it or lump it!

I thought planet were pretty reasonable £6 or £12, always quick.
Seemed the same as everybody else really.

Shipping is part of what I do, so check this for expensive.
5 boxes 18" x 18" x 24" from oxford to stockton-on-tees, same day delivery £213! You're worried about a fiver, please!!!!

point proven, but being still in school, 5 ers alot!
also got a fine for 24 quid today for not having a train ticket.
ar*e holes, i would have one if there hadnt been a huge que at the ticket office. i'm really pi*sed off about that. i was going to do my compulsory work experience too.
Bloody trains.

Still in school

I see your point, I couldn't afford to play paintball apart from the odd rental on the site I worked at ( always makes things cheaper ) until I graduated from Uni.

This sport is bad enough cost wise, and those little extra's only make it worse.

tell the guy there wasnt time to get one...i do it all the time!!! they cant prove u were trying to dodge the ticket guy!!!!

or if they dont take that, as your at school (like me) i assume your not 16 (if you are this wont work) say u dont have any money, and by law minors MUST be allowed onto publice transport for free......

 

[ericostani]

well

i am 16, but doin gcse's, so it may work, as i was going to work experience they might have sympathy
it was ages ago, but the fines just come through the post, so i'm gonna complain anyway

Planets web order service cannot give a correct figure of cost of shipping as it cannot calculate the weight of goods,so they give an approx figure,i have ordered from planet many times & the postage was allways alot cheaper than shown on the web site.

 

[L J]

you actually gave them your real address!!!! *shakes head*

much to learn do you my young apprentice!



about being 16, lie....i look about 18...but i say im15 (i am!) and tell the go to go funk himself if he dont believe you, the worst he can do is chuck u off at next station...wait for next train or get bus!

p.s oh my god....i worked out i only have 12 days of school days left till i leave!!!

i was looking forward to it but now i realise it means i should start revising now!!!

 

[ericostani]

tried to lie, didnt work!

arse hole, he actually phoned up some policeo guy and checked out my address to my name, about the age thing, i should have lied, but i was dumb! cost me 20 plus the ticket!
could be a nice new drop fwd, or.................if only!
