Product Description

The insides of the envelopes and the outsides of the storage boxes feature traditional Italian designs of your choice, some of them dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries Read More
I have been interested in this drop for some time, but the interior patterns on the envelopes are a little florid. I would not be comfortable sending to a colleague. Any chance we can see something more understated in the next drop?
Shipping cost is 1/3 price of the product. Whoever puts these drops together is out of their skull.
Massdrop will ill ship a TV for free but somehow pieces of paper cost quite a lot to ship.
EsteldinYou pay for shipping whether it is in the price or separately. The total cost is all that matters. It is fascinating though to see how viscerally shipping costs impact highly emotional consumers.
I wanted to buy this, but not with this shipping cost. You lost a sale Massdrop. Next time consider carefully before you pad your revenue from shipping charges.
$7.75 to ship three small boxes of stationery.
In other words: add one third of the lowest cost just for shipping.
Wow!
MD should provide complete, accurate price information by including the shipping cost in the price points on the product description page.
In providing this information, MD would be giving its customers great customer service and transparent, honest cost information. Isn’t this something MD would want to do for their own customers? After all, MD is always talking about its “communities” and touting how much “we saved” on a completed drop.
I’ve found a fair number of good deals on MD, including the shipping cost. But I’ve also seen a fair number of apparently good deals that turn out not to be good deals because of the shipping price. Especially when so many MD product offerings are available from other online vendors at similar (or lower) prices, with lower sipping costs, or free shipping – and no long wait.
I cannot understand why MD refuses to provide its customers with clear and complete cost information in an easily accessible manner. Unless MD is hoping that some portion of its customers won’t take the time to do the math and end up with a lousy deal. So, sure, withholding complete cost information makes sense if your business model is based on gulling some of your own customers into thinking they’re getting a good deal when they really are not. Not very friendly, but it does make sense.
I’ll continue to shop MD because there are enough genuinely good deals to hold my interest. But it’s irritating to have to have to click to another page in order to determine the actual product cost. Not an onerous chore, I know, but frustrating because it would take no effort for MD to provide this information to us up front.
Their continuing refusal to do so doesn’t indicate much respect for their customers.
NovanglianEverybody has a different shipping cost based on your location. It is not unreasonable to click through and then stop. I would say that an app to calculate shipping cost (like Ebay) would be useful, but you are paying for shipping on everything you buy. It is simply baked in, which means usually those who live in major cities are subsidizing those in rural areas or those far from major warehousing locations (with some regionality of course). I agree with you, but my guess is that the application/function to easily display shipping is less easy to develop than we imagine.
SkipPpReally well, actually. When I tested these samples out, I used the LAMY Joy calligraphy pen seen in photos, with the included LAMY cartridge. There was no feathering or bleed-through on anything, and very minimal ghosting on the letter paper (so you could probably write on the back without issue with most pen/ink combos).
It just urks me knowing that regular wholesale is btw $6.5 - $8 a box (if you buy 6 of them directly from Ross). That is a bit too much of a markup for me to write w/out heartburn.
