Official Sales Alert thread - Page 1407

They didn't say anything about it, but I knew they were going to charge me extra, because I checked the tracking number and they travelled around Europe. They are also going to charge you for transportation costs, and the transportation costs wouldn't be there if they just crossed the border. TBS marked the pack to €38,5, while I had to pay €30 for VAT, customs and transportation costs. The transportation costs was €20, while the rest was VAT and customs.

You're saying you got an invoice from a delivery company that had a line item that said "Transportation Costs?"

Also, I don't think you realize how delivery company works; surely you don't think they pick stuff up at once place and drive straight to the delivery address? Companies have hubs where everything goes first and then ship back out. I've seen packages from one Caribbean country go to Miami and then back down to the other Caribbean country, for example.

Why would they do that? Other companies like DHL and UPS travels to the destination, but stops in some necessary countries and not around the globe, which increases some expenses. It's like I order something from my own country, but the package has to stop at other destinations in other countries to be scanned right before they deliver the package to me. 

No, UPS, DHL and all the other delivery companies (I think FedEx has the same thing, but doesn't write it down at the bill) has a statement in small font that the receiver have to pay transportation costs. 

 

You're a moron

LOL at the shipping talk

It happens like once a month in this thread and for some odd reason I always chime in like a fucking idiot.

SF should make a plea to e-tailers; have sales or we'll be reduced to arguing about the most banal shit in the world.

I need to take part in TBS-Code anonymous.

is that where you keep ordering because they keep sending you codes? If so we need a 12 step group.

TBS is my GILT... I'm so fucking ashamed.

It's also where you go when you ask for TBS codes on this forum like a crack whore.

I first ordered from TBS on jan 4th of this year, and again on the 17th of that month.
They sent me a code for 25USD of my next order and I couldn't resist....I ordered again on the 10th of February and again on the 3rd of March.
I heard that they were having a presale on their summer sale...all of my homies received codes, but I never did...
I've never felt so cold, so alone.

Still, I went back, again and again. Every time I try and hope to feel something special, something meaningful, like that first order I placed. Every time I feel more and more hopeless.

But... the... shipping... is... so... FAST!

And... so... CHEAP!

sadly the shipping from tbs gets to me here in hawaii then when i order from within the united states...whats up with that....btw i have a code if anyone wants to trade for a ssense code
