| Since I started making these boxes almost 8 years ago that fee has been there. If you would feel better about it I could just tag that onto the price of the box and make them $169. I seperate it out so people know what they are paying for. I have not raised the cost of my boxes in 7 1/2 years, they have always been $150. I have to buy packing peanuts, bubble wrap, boxes and tape to ship. For example, one bag of peanuts for me is about $39 and I get about 6 boxes of packing out of each one, then the bubble wrap is $40/roll and the boxes are about $5.50 each, plus I have to pay $57 shipping to Conway freight everytime I need to order some so all together that $19 helps to cover those costs. But at the same time I have never charged paypal fees so I eat anywhere from $6 to $21 everytime someone orders a setup from me. I guess I could remove the "packaging" fee and instead tack on the "paypal" fees, if that would make you feel better. Hell, on some of the orders I had around the time I made the calendars I threw in free calendars for those people as well and those cost me money also. And your company in Florida, I will keep my opinions to myself. I have no one to blame but myself since I sold that jack off the boxes he copied. Unfortunantly I dont have a copy write so there is nothing I can do about them accept rely on forum members as I have for all these years. On that same note, I want to thank all the members who have bought from me. I am over a thousand orders now. That is individual people, not pieces. You guys have been great at supporting me over the years and it has been very helpfull for me and my family since I have went back to college to get a second degree. Because of you guys it has really helped cut down on the amount of student loans to a minimum we had to take to cover the schooling. So in closing, I understand that you wanted to get something less expensive for your own reasons but don't try to toss this ball in my court like it is my fault that I am trying to cover some of my losses. Take Care, Chris.
