throwbackid Pillar of the Community 1283 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 8:32 pm I went to place another order with Provident when I saw that they are charging $25 for shipping. Are big leap from the $12 they were charging last week and they use to even have a special on Weekend shipping at $6. I for one will not pay $25 for shipping on a roll of eagles. Has anyone else noticed the increase? Crazy Report this Post to the Staff

Their selection is often thin or out of stock, so they are losing stock with me fast.... Can one use pay-pal to pay at Provident, or debit? I am sure that seems like dumb question, but it has been a long time since I have bought from them, and I usually pay via one of the two above? Not that it matters, as I like you TBK will not be giving them that extra cash just for the principal of it. Not that 12 bucks is gonna break me, or you or others either way I figure, but why do that when one can even get better deals on ebay via free shipping.... It does not happen often, but I have seen the new Lunar dragon 5 oz. 2nd series, sell on ebay FOR LESS, then what they list at Provident for. I saw one end at $275 an was kickin myself for not grabbing it a week or two back, as it was listing at like 335 plus 12 shipping at Provident at the time....

coinwatch Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 8:56 pm As of this evening, March 24, 2012, the Provident FAQ shows the following shipping tiers: Order Sub-Total Shipping Rate $0-$99.99 $5.95 $100-$499.99 $8.95 $500-$1,999.99 $11.95 $2,000-$4,999.99 $16.95 $5,000 + $24.95 Could it have just been a mistake, maybe? Regardless a roll of ASEs shouldn't cost you $25 for shipping from this vendor. Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 03/24/2012 9:03 pm I bought 7 2012 Chinese silver Pandas and 3 miscellaneous 1oz silver rounds just for the heck of it from Provident just this past week and the shipping was the usual $8.95 for the order. I am puzzled as to how you came up with $25 for domestic shipping on a roll of ASEs, that is really strange, unless you selected the pay by credit card option. Report this Post to the Staff
