. It's not a stupid way to run a business Roy. You must be buying loads of individual items, that all attract a postage rate per item. I only know what final postage rate I pay, relevant to what I purchase. I usually only buy highish valve items and the postal cost works out very reasonable.

How else can you do it Julie? I have nine items in one basket and that's what they want for postage at checkout. I have requested a revised total from them and that's what they came back with, exactly the same. I cannot see anywhere on the website that says I will get an unknown quantity refund at some point if I fancy taking the risk. Now that really is a stupid way to run a business as I am not going to pay that sort of postage on one box of small fairly light items, so they lose the business. As you know, they are a strange lot to deal with, many of us are banned from buying off eBay due to asking perfectly normal questions. No, I'm going elsewhere.

Roy, When I bought pistons and other parts from them last year the postage seemed a little high, but not enough to put me off. I paid at checkout as normal.
A day or so later I got an email notification of a small refund for the revised postage charge. It seems to be how they operate. It may be peculiar to Cruzinimage or it may be how Japanese online business works. I've not bought from other Japanese sites so I have no idea. Anyhow, it wouldn't put me off buying from them again.
Sesman:
I wouldn’t let the postage pu you off. I’ve had stuff from Cruzinimage and the postage deal always turned out just fine…keep the faith😀
royhall:
I requested a quote from Cruzinimage with an accurate postage cost. That arrived this morning via email and is 15 dollars dearer. They really are having a laugh, it's cheaper at Silvers (and that's not something I thought I would ever say). I will get the bits from elsewhere as the postage is just a rip off, it's as expensive as the parts themselves. The only thing I will order from them now is a piston set should I need it. Although if I don't take up the invoice offer they sent I will probably be banned from there as well as eBay. At those rip off prices ban away, I'm sure Wemoto will be grateful for the business.
