I ordered 12 RCA Coaxial Cable Connectors (VH59X) (VH59X) [ASIN: B000092TSS] from Ocean Reef Electronics through Amazon. The cost was 29cents each, for a total of $3.48. I received an eMail that the connectors were shipped - and the shipping charges were $47.88. Total is OVER FIFTY BUCKS for a handful of connectors that can't possibly weigh more than a few ounces. According to Ocean Reef Electronics site on Amazon, General shipping rates 2.98 - $4.99 per item. I spoke with the company and their attitude is basically, TUFF!!! YOU ORDERED IT - YOU OWN IT. I am shocked that Amazon allows this kind of abuse on theirwebsite. I always assumed that when I bought through Amazon that they had vetted their vendors, and that buying was a safe on-line experience.
Shame on both Amazon and Ocean Reef Electronics.
