Runner Fee??

Ok placing my first Mailorder today, and I am being charged a shipping/handling fee of 15 bucks (this i can understand), and then 15 bucks for a runner fee at 3 bucks per item??? Is this the norm here? If it is cool, but I never read about that part, figured it was just in the price already.

:unsure: I dunno either, just on my returned mail with the total I need to send it says 15 for shipping and handling and 15 for runner fee @ 3 dollars per item...

Sounds like you are getting gear from Mex. The way I understand it is someone (source in the US) has people (runners) that have no problems getting back and forth over the boarder. They are sent with a shopping list, bring gear back, and then enroute to you. $15 doesn't sound too bad, good luck.

you must be ordering from a mexican connection! $15.00 aint that bad! some charge as much 15% based on your order and fedex charges!

$15.00 for a runner is a great price compared to the fines you'll pay if you got caught bringing it across the border. I usually pay 10% of my total order but most pay 20% in J-town.

%15 seems to be the normal runner's fee on an order, if you order large enough, some places will waive the runner's fee...

I think I know who your going through bro. If it is the same guy, I think, then he does have people bringing it across and no, $3 per item (except amps) isn't bad at all.
