Complaint Review: UBid

I had a terrible experience with uBid shipping costs. I ordered 6 small identical gems. The price was good. They arrived about a week later in one small envelope. But I was charges $113.50 for shipping and handling!

I complained to uBid but they were unsympathetic. So beware, just because you are ordering identical items from the same seller, you will be charged almost $19 or so every time they drop a small item into an envelope with your other small items. (Remind me not to buy peas from uBid)

While it is "reasonable" to assume you will be charged for only one shipping, you will actually be charged separate shipping for each item, meaning in reality, you are being charge much much more for an item than you think. In my case, about 300% higher than the item was actually sold for during the bid.

So don't be reasonable - beware!
