I went to order some comic books on amazon from a third party seller.
I found a seller that had multiple comics I wanted and contacted the seller asking if there was anyway to combine orders so that I wouldn't get stuck paying $3.99 shipping on each book.
He gave me the whole it's how the selling system works with amazon and that he only combines shipping with certain items.
His Exact message
We do not offer combined or reduced shipping on books, dvds or cds at this time. Items in those categories have the shipping rates set by Amazon but on all other products we do offer free shipping. Thank you.
So after that I asked him if a partial refund would possible to help reimburse the shipping cost. He didn't respond so I took that as a no.
So after debating whether or not I want to go through with the order I decide I will go through will the order. Before doing so I messaged him back and said.
I understand you can't combine shipping and won't refund partial shipping. So I'm going to place multiple orders with you and since I have to pay $3.99 shipping on each item per amazon sellers that I want each order sent to me independently. So that he doesn't ship media mail for $2 dollars and pocket the rest of the shipping charges. My shipping charges were higher then the orders. So he was making his profit on the shipping and not the price of the comics.
Now I said this all to him before I ordered. Well in advance, because I purposley wanted my orders separate since I have to pay shipping on each one. He has yet to respond back.
If he shipped them together would I be in the right to file a claim against him? It feels like a half dick move but I told the seller way before placing my orders not to combine shipping.
The thing is if I knew he was going to combine shipping specially after the fact I messaged him before ordering, I would have put the orders two days apart so he couldn't combine shipping. Like I said shipping came out to be more then my orders so that and the fact I contacted him before hand is what gets me.
