Walthers' 10% shipping. how do you figure it?
Posted by caboose63 on Friday, May 27, 2005 7:33 PM
i am interested in buying one of bachmann's 2-10-0's or 4-6-0's. their order form says orders over $70.01 add 10% or maximum of $12.50. well i figure out for example the sale price of their 2-10-0 is $119.98 add 10% and that is $12.99 . what amount do i send the $12.99 or the $12.50 maximum they have listed?

I would send $131.98. $119.98 for the engine plus 10 percent ($12.00) for shipping.

Send the maximum. (The previous message said to send more.) If you pay more, expect (demand) a refund.

Why not simply go thru your LHS? Let them pay the shipping?

I second HighIron2003ar. Give the business to you LHS if you have one. My LHS gives me a 10% discount on special orders, as well as other shops that I have dealt with in the past.
