MRB Shipping Overcharge?

Maybe he thought Anthony Curtis should hand deliver the book to him. I am sure the $3.50 should be enough to cover AC's airfare, food, and hotel.

Hard to believe that people that go to Vegas can question a mailing charge of $3.50.

Nevertheless, I received our book a few days ago...and this gives me the opportunity to say"THANKS" A job well done this year. Will be putting this to use in 10 days....I always hi light the 2 for 1 buffets that are only good for Sun/Thur....and guess what? There was only ONE....Golden Nugget. That in itself is great. which means I have a buffet coupon for every day this trip.

Thanks again....Good Job..

You run a site directed towards tight asses you will get tight asses posting to it.

Remember -you also have option to pick up book at their office.

Never ceases to amaze me how cheap people can be. When you take a cab from the airport to your hotel do you give the driver exact change? Geez

Ok, I figured I'd get beat up over this, but I was curious. I'll consider myself more enlightened as to the behind-the-scenes costs, overall value, etc.

And don't forget, as I stated in my original post, overall, I am SATISFIED with LVA!

Don't try to confuse the mob mentality in this thread with the facts.

I have a feeling that you would complain if you were hung with a new rope. I thought I had heard it all, obviously I was mistaken.

I think knagl is right on the money; group behavior is different than individual behavior, and on-the-net behavior is different than in-person behavior.

My two cents:

1. Of course there are "handling" costs besides the postage, most of which is probably a matter of subcontracting the shipping to a mailing house. Maybe there's some profit in the $3.50, but most companies charge "handling" as well as "shipping," including big ones like amazon and Wal-Mart. I don't think $3.50 is inappropriately high.
2. Opinions sure run high on the Net; these discussions are usually really polarized, either LVA (or whoever or whatever is under discussion) is either perfect or horrible, rarely anything in between.
3. There's the so-called "halo effect," when you're pissed off about something you get pissed off about everything. If the food is lousy, you'll tend to complain more about the service. If you're pissed about LVA, you'll complain more about the S&H on the MRB. Just normal human nature.
4. People often get pissed when you talk about their behavior. Maybe I shouldn't have. Too late.

You got a mea cupa out of the guy, what more do you want? Let it go.
