No they won't. Not from retail.

Actually he will have to pay for priority mail since the box weights more the the 14 oz you can ship 1st class. Or he can ship it parcel post and it will still be around 5-6 bucks So it is almost right on in price. A little bit over but he is covering the whole USA when he priced the shipping.

I believe these will fit in the small flat rate box which is what $5? I just don't like the expedited shipping being listed and then saying 1st class I think it is sleazy.

It's not sleazy. Ebay considers First Class Mail "Expedited Shipping". When you list an item and choose a shipping service, First Class is under Expedited Services.

Wow, with all the shipping I've done in the past all mine were listed as first class mail and none of my listings never once said expedited next to shipping...is this new? I haven't been active on ebay in about 4 months because I moved and switched my inventory to COMC. At the bottom of the listing is looks like priority was selected which is why I thought expedited was listed as the shipping for $9.95.

I never actually chose an "expedited shipping" option on my last run of auctions, but when I looked at them they all said expedited shipping.
Not sure where it comes from. This guy might not be sure why it's there either.

That could be true, maybe it's new. I guess the shipping shouldn't have been what stood out to me, maybe it should be the rest of the mis-information in the post...oh well

Umm... to hell with the postage, the guy is lying about the redemptions...

No it will not those are only like a VHS Cassette but a little bigger.8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8"Height I only less then 2 inches And if you have to stuff it in and it compromises the box in its shape which means you have to really tape the hell out of it then it moves up in box size and that is 10.70 Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box (FRB1) $10.70 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"

I just plugged in 3 different zip codes from mine and I weight the box (retail I have and it is from 6.25 to 11 bucks to ship Parcel and Priority mail to all 3 of these East coast and west coast. Slightly higher to Alaska for some reason :lol:

I sent him a question asking him that. We'll see if I get a response.

The expedited shipping thing just started popping up in the last couple weeks I believe. It's on just about every auction I look at now, with all kinds of shipping prices and options. I think it might be automatically added when you pick one of the qualifying shipping services.
