I'm curious if anyone else has purchased globes from the Kyle Moore auction this weekend. If so, have you got your invoice and what were you charged for shipping? I purchased 3 different globes. I got an invoices shortly after the auction with just over $700 shipping for 3 globes. This was priced based on Fedex overnight shipping. I felt that was ridiculously high at $236 per globe. I purchased 1 globe during the first installment. I was only charged $130 to ship that globe with a pump plate overnight.
The first globe I purchased was double boxed and packaged very well. I requested shipping options for 2 and 3 day delivery times. Below is what I was given. Still ridiculous.
If you would like Fed Ex 2-day Shipping:
Shipping- $546
Packing- $120
Insurance- $27
If you would like Fed Ex 3-day Shipping:
Shipping- $360
Packing- $120
Insurance- $27
For those of you that ship globes more often, do you think I really need to ship these with 1-3 day delivery times or could I save some money and go slower? None of the globes I bought are extremely rare. I'd hate for something to happen to them but its hard to pay even $500 shipping/handling when I only spent $1950 for the 3 lots.
