Hi Guys,
Having a issue and I could use some advice from those who have already navigated these waters. I recently won a globe from a auction house back east, prior to auction I called and spoke to owner about globe/shipping etc. His responce was "oh, shipped lot's of these double boxed insured etc.etc. never been more that $80" which is what I have experienced in the past and expected. I took that amount into account when bidding obviously, well I ended up winning it at a good price considering internet premium and all. Today I get a PayPal invoice from a specialty packing and shipping company for $195 !!! over double what I was told/expecting apparantly he didn't want to package it himself ?. I called shipper and responce was pretty much what expected..."we never quoted you that price" So I put call into auction house to see what can be done, still waiting on call back. Am I screwed ? this is a globe I really want and even at $130 in extra charges I'm still into it at a good price so I'll have to consider that if he tells me to go pound sand but It's hard to swallow I don't want to lose globe but I dont want to be taken advantage of either. What would you guys do ?? Thanks !!
