Same old story. The seller didn't list shipping charges in the description (that should have been the tip off), and I was negligent by not inquiring about shipping. You know how you ASSUME that the seller is not insane, or an outright thief?
I buy chips from Australia all the time. The normal shipping charge is $3-5. This greedy SOB wanted $9.
I sent an email asking him to reconsider, he said there was nothing to reconsider.
