GlobalFSD Offers Cheap Samples of 5-meter Filament Strands to Try Out

[Wolfie]

Well, I just placed my first order. And the shipping takes your breath away

The order was $57.62 and shipping on that came to ANOTHER $55.84 pushing it up to $113.45. Then when I get to paypal, its up to $116.35.

I don't think I will do much more business with them based on shipping costs alone. For $116, I could have several nice 1kg spools instead of a handful of samples. Hope I don't regret this.

- I would have bailed on that order. There's many quality suppliers out there that offer free shipping, and that is 4 spools of filament worth of $$.

- So what types of filament did you pick up?

Yea, I paused for quite some time before committing. But I wanted the color changing stuff as well as the gel and I don't know where else to get samples of the stuff before I drop $60 or so on a spool and find out either I don't like it nor the printer doesn't like it.

Their product prices are completely reasonable and I would have bought more but I was still dazed from my jaw hitting the desk when I saw the shipping costs. And the one I most wanted, they are out of, BioFila Silk.

Good. Because I really think that what was charged was a bit out of line for the small weight of product I ordered. I will post back here when I recieve that email and what (if any) resolution there was in it. I am as quick to praise as I am to complain.

As I said, the purchase prices were reasonable and the service you are providing is a needed one for folks like me just getting started and needing to find samples to test with and learn what works and what doesn't without breaking the bank. The shipping...well, oof. I wanted tracking so I could see where it was and when it would arrive here.

I also believe that your site dropped the shipping address too. I specified my work address (nobody home if it needed a signature) as a shipping address on your form. Yet my receipt emial from paypal says its shipping to my home address anyway. So, yall might want to look at that too.

I get it that sometimes sites don't do quite what we want them to. Its how you respond to those issues and resolve them that really shows who you are.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, PM sent with order # and further details needed to verify the order.
