Money lost on postage.
I charge $15 for priority and $30 for overnight. now knowing that USPS can suck sometimes and it will still take 2-3 days to get a package from me to say...Tommy, i pack super well, most of my reviews will state that. becuz i pack well and guarantee my T's will show up in good condition i usually lose money on postage. the last few times ive shipped ive charged $30 for ONLAG and ended up spending $33 plus the drive to the post office.
So to the OP it goes both ways...sometimes people save money becuz they are just really good at what their doing and they can package things cheap. For others like Fran and I we take a more "overkill" approach so that way we can MAKE SURE you get exactly what you paid for and we dont lose our reputation. if you see enough crappy reviews on someone saying "packaging was poorly done and T's were dead" you arent going to order from that person. but when u consistently see "He packed the _________ perfect, I couldn't find a single flaw in his packing job." that gives u a solid feeling knowing that your animal will show up intact even if the person sending it lost a few dollars in the transaction.
