Sellers not wanting to ship

[jeff1012]

Just curious why sellers on here are not willing to ship if the buyer offers to pay for shipping. Just seems like I have lost a lot of items because people are not willing to ship. Especially if we pay up front for everything. It’s not logical for me to drive 2 hrs or more for a item thanks rant over

I’ll ship parts. Not firearms. PITA with firearms.

Like to meet others and don't live vicariously through computer?

How so? Stick in a box and drop it at the PO for rifles and shotties.

I will ship some things but I do like to meet fellow ODTers

I have shipped $$ items and met on small $ items just depends

Just as easy provided it's a long gun. (Intrastate)

I’m just talking about accessories. No firearms

I don't particularly think I would want to ship anything. If I had a " Older on shelf- New in box "
item that would be easy. For me to take photos, give a description I think possibly the buyer might not like it, and I don't want a negative feedback.

Also shipping is more than tossing in the Post Office outgoing mail box. We have to wrap in protective wrapping, box, tape, label. IF WE HAVE ALL THAT STUFF JUST LAYING AROUND.

Just my reason, I would rather meet the ODTer face to face. Deal and shake hands knowing both are happy.

I guess if you are willing to pay to insure as well as ship.

Only thing Id be worried about would be something happening to the package.

Also while Id certainly ship, Id rather do a meet given the opportunity.

But this is a site that is suppose to be helping each other out. We all have busy schedules sometimes and driving 2 hrs for a $50 part is not feasible. Just saying been looking at some Midwest Ind AK rails and found some On here but no one is willing to ship. It’s just frustrating
