Proton Computers question (Rob?!)

#1 Post by User32 »

I saw that they're selling BLKBs for 19's EXTREMELY cheap: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USED-CF-WKB1938 ... 1790706841

but 70$ shipping for a keyboard? wat.jpg

I also read that Rob used to work there, is there anything you can do? I'm pretty sure you can ship a KB as a letter or something.

Too bad then I guess. But the non BL chiclet KB I have now isn't too bad either.

Netherlands. Now it's 80$ for shipping, for something that could VERY easily be shipped in a enveloppe!

To ship 3 port covers to you in a 4x6 padded envelope cost me $9.50 with no insurance. If it gets lost who pays...me . This is why sellers charge more now because they are not using standard shipping. We need to cover ourselves from loss. Now for me to ship to you insured with tracking is $60.00 . I sold 5 covers to Germany for $70.00 shipped. They never got them so i had to send more and in the end i lost $84.00 . I now do not ship to germany.
