I’ve been on ricardo for well over 10 years, both as a buyer and a seller. Generally as a buyer I don’t hate the platform but I have stopped selling on there because of their ridiculous fees. Anyway, not what the rant is about. I sometimes buy used Lego on there. I’m fine with someone asking 21CHF for shipping over 10Kg of bulk as that’s the actual cost. But for smaller stuff, people either don’t know any better or they are just trying to pocket additional money. Example: I was browsing and saw a couple lego figures that looked like a good deal, 7 of them, shipping: 9CHF. Why? I don’t want to waste that much money for shipping. First of all, b-post shipping with the swiss post is 7.50CHF up to 2Kg, not 9 CHF and there’s no fucking way it costs Ricardo 1.50 CHF to generate a post label with their stupid logo on there. Second of all, for such small pieces, could you actually make the effort and propose adequate bubbled mailer shipping? It would cost at most like 1.70CHF for a webstamp. I mean a pack of 5 B5 bubbled envelopes is like 3CHF at Migros ffs! Rant over submitted by /u/h311m4n000
