Is $4 shipping worth it according to you?

Hello.

I'm living in Sweden and I sell lasers + gadgets to friends here and I'm making a lot of money from it but a couple of days ago I went to the university where I study with all of my lasers and metered them, I have around 30 of them and they are all bought as 5mW. It turns out that only one of them is 5mW while the rest are a lot higher. The highest was 102mW!

Oh well, I was thinking of a similiar bussiness idea as swimminsurfer and my prices would be similiar, but there is one advantage from me.

The lasers I have are the gold/black viper models from DragonLasers and they come with that nice box aswell.

The disadvantage? The shipping is $4 worldwide.

Would you be interested? (Just doing some research)

Oh and I have green, blue and red lasers in that host and only one was on spec (5mW) and that was a green. The rest are overspec.

It is? :san: I thought it was expensive. It's 3-4 days shipping to the US/Canada, 2-3 days to most european countries and up to 10 days to the rest of the world.

At what price would you be selling the pointers?

$4 shipping---is that with tracking or no tracking.

If without tracking will you send a second one if someone says they did not receive the first one? Really would have to be sent registered or some other trackable method which I guess would be more then $4--no?

Obviously without tracking, but it gets delivered sooner or later in USA, Canada and most of the european countries, but if you want to send it to asian countries or middle east, you should send a registered one, There is no proper check and balance in asian countries and unregistered mail is like an orphan child, if the postman likes it , he will keep it!

You're all over the place...

On one thread you can't afford shipping back to china.

In another you're smashing a laser.

In yet another you're not testing properly, complain, and get three more lasers for free.

I don't know what kind of a seller you are, or will be, but given your track record so far, I would not be interested, as either buyer or seller.

$4 for tracked shipping is great. For untracked... well it's your funeral with paypal disputes.
