Can we negotiate shipping for the Going Places duffle bag?

[frozenchef]

I have my duffle bag, NIP from the Going Places promotion. I'm asking $45 for it plus shipping.

Now as for shipping, things cost money to send especially things that have firm pieces in the bottom like the duffel bag. I used to work for Mailboxes Etc. and know how to get shipping quotes properly. From Alaska, you don't even want to know the UPS and FedEx prices, but USPS is $31.60 (3-5 business days) for Priority or $16.77 for Parcel Post (2-3 weeks). Sorry to sound kinda snotty on this, but I'm tired of people telling me I should be able to ship large things for less - you can only squish some things so much

Hi there,I'm definitely interested in the duffle bag from the Going Places promotion. It looks like it's in great condition and I've been in need of a new duffle bag for my travels. $45 sounds like a fair price to me.I completely understand your concerns about shipping costs. It's always a bit of a hassle when trying to ship larger items. I appreciate that you have experience with shipping quotes and know how to get the best deal. I've had issues in the past with people overcharging for shipping, so it's great to know that you have a good understanding of the costs.I'm located in the lower 48 states, so I'm hoping shipping won't be too expensive. Is there any way we could possibly negotiate on the shipping cost? Maybe we could split the cost or find a more affordable option? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
