WHY can't I buy nylon multifilament anywhere using PayPal?

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 
CryoParts is always an option, but their prices on NMF are so absurdly high, and they don't carry enough other things I need (reasonably priced connectors, heat shrink) to warrant just buying the NMF. I was getting ready to check out from WireCare, but they only accept credit card. Which sucks, since that seemed like an awesome place to get my wire stuff. Anyone know of any other decent suppliers that take PayPal?

FURRYLETTERS: EXPANDABLE SLEEVING COLORS, DRILL BITS STANDARD LENGTH, CLAMP ADEL misc.

I purchased some from this seller before. Somehow I cannot find this product amongst his current offering but I'm sure he has some in stock or can order some for you.

Cheers!

OH HELL YES. Thanks guys. He didn't have black heat shrink in 1/8" and 3/8", but that's OK, the price is so damned good.

I know this is a pretty old post but just wanted to let you know that Wirecare.com does accept CreditCards, PayPal and is now setting up terms with other businesses.

yeah but your absurd international shipping charges for small packages have not changed, that is what stops me almost any time i load items in the cart at your site. a couple of weeks ago i was desperate enough to follow through, because you have an excellent range of things that are usually only available in very large rolls, but come on nearly 100usd!! on a 50 dollar order for shipping a small, light package that would normally cost 40-50 anywhere else!! and if i added just another 50gr of stuff (10' of sleeve) the price for shipping goes up to well over 150 for an addition that would not add much, if anything if you used flat rate boxes, thats insane and does not reflect the actual price of shipping in the slightest, so i try to get sleeving and heatshrink absolutely everywhere else before even considering using you.

 

otherwise your prices are very good, but inflating the prices by charging a premium on the shipping is underhanded imo. you do enough business to be able to have deals with ups and other services, which would allow flatrate or express saver shipping. i only paid slightly more than 100 to ship a set of rather heavy speaker drivers via fedex by someone who had an account tyhat was approx 20 times larger and heavier, so i really dont see how you come up with the pricing you do.

I agree with qusp.

You still have no USPS option for international shipping!

Paying 100 - 150 to ship something to Australia that USPS Express would do for a third of that is rediculous.

The last time I enquired I was flatly told that it was impossible.

 

I love your range and the prices of your products.

There are many things I'd like to pick up which are unobtanium over here.

It's been almost three years since I stomached that shipping charge... I haven't been able to bring myself to do it again regardless of what's on offer.

Shipping is definitely an issue we have been dealing with in several areas including UPS, Fedex, and USPS.  This is something that has been discussed and we will hopefully have better choices for everyone in the near future.  I appreciate your suggestion about the flat rate boxes!  Thank you.  

 

Thanks again for your suggestions, qusp!

yeah James, but its not available worldwide afai.

 

@ Steve: thats good to know, i will shoot you an email next time i need anything, which probably wont be too long as i love the carbon fiber techflex i got from you last week, but as it stands any time i added something to my cart and checked shipping the price went up considerably more than the cost of the stuff i was adding thus my 51 dollar order, just enough to get what i really needed and avoid the 10.95 handling fee, i ended up with  well over 200 dollars in shipping on a 150 dollar order at one point

 

dhl, ups express saver or ems flatrate are far better options for us than fedex, as fedex have a 60 dollar fee they charge for 'brokering' the customs import duty, which we do not even have in australia anymore until you import over 1000 dollars value, so they dont have to do anything at all for their 60 bucks, it hasnt always been that much we could have before paying tax, but its been nearly 10 years and they simply didnt change it.

Yeah...the carbon fiber is great sleeving!  Have you used any of the nylon multifilament?  If not I can send you a sample and see what you think? Please give me a call or email me and I will make sure your order is handled personally!! 

 

After your last reply I did a bit of investigation especially on the flat rate boxes and found that domestically it may work well for us but the problem is tracking.  The USPS has a poor tracking system Internationally and that is our biggest reason for not using them internationally.  The tracking protects you and us!  UPS to Australia is the best way to ship with us.

agreed the usps tracking is utter poo, rather topical you mention that, because i have a package of wire worth several thousand dollars on its way here by ems sent last tuesday and it vanished off the tracking radar the moment it left the states. i wont be using them again, i normally use ups express saver anyway, but this reinforces it. funny thing is i knew better than to use it this time for such a shipment, the next time it updates, going by past experience, will be to tell me its arrived, now thats a useful feature blink.gif

What does Australia Post's tracking say?
