Actually, people had commented on using Reptster for shipping in this thread, and that BOI thread - if you actually read it - has a lot of information about Reptster's shipping and issues people have had with it. Again, it is to help people have the most information possible to make informed choices.

I read over 50 pages of it and I didn't read anything about shipping in it. The thread is about a woman who asked David to Sponsor a show. She kept changing the amount so he didn't pay her.

How do you do that? All I have as an option of payment when I go on the site is by credit card/debit

I have read the entire thread. If this information is not pertinent to you, then by all means, ignore it. It may be very helpful to some. It may not. I'm just putting it out there so people have the opportunity to make informed choices, whatever those choices may be.

Do you have a debit card for your PayPal account? If not, you can get one. That is what I use.

Right, but I usually dont deposit the money onto the card and just leave it on paypal and I would love to use the money on the paypal account rather than the money on the debit/credit card.

No, I mean I have a PayPal debit card. When I use it, the money comes directly from my PayPal account.

I believe there has always been a fuel charge. I know I shipped out a box few weeks ago. I forget what dimensions, but the size up from 12x9x6 and it was $86 and change. I didn't know the weight so I had to use the dimensions. When I dropped it off, the UPS guy said that they would adjust the fees since the dimensions said the box would be 8 lbs and it was like 2.3 lbs. They didn't, and I lost out big on that one.

I always had a fuel charge too but I have been using Reptster since I was quoted $80 through my UPS account and had is shipped for less than $50 through Reptster. I havent had one shipment cost more than $45 and most are around $35 for next day express.
If you're not shipping out a lot of packages every month then that's probably the only way to get a cheaper shipping price.

I personally have switched to repster shipping exclusively over 3 months ago, and have saved a ton of money. I have also never had a issue with any package shipped. You will have issue with any carrier from time to time, but the facts are not many will pay 70-80 dollars to ship. And on top of that in a time where the economy is low, can the breeders afford to loose 20-30 dollars per shipment??

Yeah, loosing $20-30 per shipment is a little ridiculous. I will have to check out repster, although I am a bit confused on how I would be shipping "through them"
