£40 postage for a seatpost

[SantasLoneCruzer]

Perfect fit for my ‘94 Zaskar build, but 40 quid postage……could you justify it?

£19 for me. It's in the US though so not surprising.

I wish the purchase price was higher so that it makes postage more palatable .

Maybe that’s where the Customs/Tax costs are included…?

Price per mile comes out rather favourably though?

For me it shows $15 shipping and I’m within 1 day shipping range of that sellers location. They’re scraping up pennies with high shipping costs. Unreasonable
Considering these can be shipped in plastic bags and weigh less than 2lbs, their shipping cost has to be negligible domestically. Internationally it’s an awkward item to ship but still not £40.

The last seatpost I bought new was under $20 with free shipping

Have you double checked that your Zaskar takes a 27.0?

As I’ve had many 94 and they’ve been 26.8 , 27.0 or 27.2.

It seems that 93-95 they used different sized wall thicknesses as they vary so much.

96 onwards is more stable at 27.0 or 27.2.

Oh and is this what you are after?

No. It hasn’t even got a logo or anything to distinguish it from any other plain old black post.

I’ve a 26.8 post and that’s too narrow…..I’ve measured seat tube and it comes up at 27mm.

Is it the ink blue frame from Niall? As that’s 95 isn’t it?
