Thanks to Blue's sharp eyes, all shipping quotes listed against my auctions have been revised. Here's how it all went down:

Again, thanks for the heads up, man.
---------------------
To assure all customers that the auction listings have been updated with accurate shipping fees, here is a breakdown:
Single Figures
- Shipping Quote: $4.50
Actual Cost:
Postage (Including Insurance & Tracking): $3.70
Scotch/Duck Brand Padded Mailer: $0.89
Bubble Wrap: $0.11 est. per figure
Figure Poly Bag/Accessory Poly Bag: $0.48 combined
Transportation (@ $3 per gallon/30 mpg, 15 gallon tank = 6 trips to P.O. per gallon): $0.50
Total: $5.68 (Difference of
$1.18
more
than quoted)
Carded Figures
- Shipping Quote: $5.50
Actual Cost:
Postage (Including Insurance & Tracking): $4.21
Scotch/Duck Brand Padded Mailer: $0.98
Bubble Wrap: $0.14 est. per figure
Poly Bag/Poly Board Backer (to keep card straight): $0.63 combined
Transportation (@ $3 per gallon/30 mpg, 15 gallon tank = 6 trips to P.O. per gallon): $0.50
Total: $6.46 (Difference of
$0.96
more
than quoted)
"Large" Carded Figures
- Shipping Quote: $7.00
Actual Cost:
Postage (Including Insurance & Tracking): $6.90

Bubble Wrap: $0.14 est. per figure

Total: $7.54 (Difference of
$0.54
more

Vehicles
are caculated per weight. Each vehicle weighs between 1 & 2 lbs. respectively. Vehicles are shipped via Priority, as are "Large Card Figures", as shipping containers are free, therefore cutting down on costs trickled down to the customer.
-----------------------
Again, thanks for noticing the fudged up shipping prices, Blue. I owe ya one, man!
