Getting gouged on shipping
Ordered an aluminum automatic door bottom yesterday. It is a door sweep that when closed extends a silicone sweep to close off any opening between door and floor. 36" and maybe a couple pounds, maybe. The company is in Arizona. Trudoor dot com. As I attempt to complete the order, it prepopulates some of the costs. $19.95 for shipping "via handling fee." What is that? And then an additional $5.80 for "Home Delivery Fee". Never heard of that. They said that is what Fedex charges them. Did not see that anywhere in a brief search of Fedex site.
I surely want to buy American, from American companies. But I hate feeling that I have to be on guard all the time for this hidden fee or something being blamed on someone else... And if I am going to pay these rates, I shouldn't have to wait 7-10 days to receive it from inside the continental US, IMO.... Just like the fall of the Roman Empire, ours is surely crumbling. It sucks to be witness to the decline...
