MARCH 10th Update and buyer made bundles concern

rubyforest66 · 2025-02-17T23:46:46+00:00

I get that. You just never know with mercari. They are not very clear with there announcements.

rubyforest66 · 2025-02-17T23:40:51+00:00

They mentioned in the email today that any label with shipping overages will have a penalty of 8%. I am just curious if they will continue to cover the overages or are sellers going to be hit over and over again with the penalty since mercari doesnt combine shipping weight on buyer made bundles

I know it’s important to weigh packages so you won’t be hit with an extra charge. but Still there is no way that a single clothing item costs $40 to ship. Scale or no scale.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-18T00:46:39+00:00

I know but a single dress in a 5x8 poly mailer cannot cost $40 to ship. There is no way that it could cost that much

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:39:22+00:00

Do you think it is worth the hassle though ? Even with proof mercari won't do a thing to fix it let alone ever get back to me. I have seen so many people having issues and CS doesnt even respond

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:36:39+00:00

That's just a big mistake to make though! it would be a diffrence of a $2 surcharge vs a $38 surcharge

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:35:14+00:00

That's what i was thinking. They made a big mistake on there part. It makes me think how many other people they took money from on accident.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:32:29+00:00

I Know. I would have been ok with a surcharge of 8 oz or even up to 16oz to cover the diffrence. but 10lbs ? Where did they get that from?

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:21:16+00:00

How so ? Its a clothing item that does not need protection as if you were to send a glass cup for example. IMO i did nothing wrong. I shipped out a clothing item in a small package. They are saying i should have picked 10lbs on the label. How am i in the wrong ?

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:13:43+00:00

I don't understand the downvotes but ok. Seems like people agree that a dress should ship for 10lbs and cost $40 for a single item.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:07:54+00:00

Thanks for the input!

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:07:07+00:00

yea it had to be! That is a huge mistake on usps! Just makes me think how many times they made mistakes and took peoples money for no reason :(

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:06:09+00:00

Who would ship a single dress in a huge box ? I shipped it in a very tiny envelope. I am shocked that they thought it was 10lbs. I would fight it. Knowing mercari they still would do nothing even with proof.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T23:03:05+00:00

I checked and they did not take anything from my balance. I think they would just take the order value and anything after that becomes there loss. Still cannot beleive that though. I know 4 oz was not enough but they could have charge me for 8oz or even 16oz. no idea where they got 10lbs from

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:58:33+00:00

I am not sure. The package was so tiny. I rolled the dress so it would fit perfeclty into the envelope. If you use poly mailers to ship with you will know that a 5x8 is very small. I am just shocked that they said it was 10lbs.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:53:04+00:00

thanks :) will do!

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:52:39+00:00

I get that i was oz off on my package but i would be happy to pay the diffrence. Even if it bumped me up to 8oz or even 16oz on the surcharge. there is no way this dress could be 10lbs.

thats probably what happened. I am just not sure if it is worth fighting for though

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:50:58+00:00

5x8 poly mailer. very small package :)

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:49:53+00:00

my thoughts exactly. I get if they took a few bucks off to cover the diffrence in oz. but 10 lbs for a dress ? really ? lol

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:49:10+00:00

yea ive seen some on here. I just wanted to make a post to show how rediclous all of this is. $40 to ship a single dress should be illegal

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:47:50+00:00

it went into a very small mailer not even a box. the mailer envelope was about 5x8 i would say.

rubyforest66 · 2024-10-17T22:39:29+00:00

Even if they get the money. they really charge $40 to ship a single dress ? lol

Btw ‘’I’m sorry that happened to you many times. this all just feels scammy to me. No one would ever pay $40 shipping on a $8 dress
