Thanks! I do not think 30% charge is bad considering the items are already heavily discounted, and they don't charge shipping fees. I know that I could visit when I am down there but the selection is always changing, and I always have a limited amount that I can pack. This is a great way to scoop up gifts, I used to live in Florida and honestly miss this store.
Regarding the part I took the liberty of bolding, did you mean they don't charge a handling fee, because they do charge for shipping.
From the terms:
"Price of the actual item(s) + a 30% Service Charge (minimum $8.00), and Actual Shipping Cost to mail the item(s)."
and
"Please note: As a service we are not responsible for PayPal fees you may incur from using your payment method. Please send payments so that No Fees are taken out of the amount we receive."
I realize this particular shopping event is over, but I'm sure there will be others, so just so no one is surprised by a higher total than they were expecting...
This shopping service adds a 30% fee to the price of the item. You are also responsible for sales tax and shipping fees and if you choose to use your cc through paypal and/or send money as a payment instead of as a gift you are responsible for pp fees as well.
My opinion only; but if you're going to do the personal shopping thing as a business, which this clearly is, suck it up and cover pp fees out of your profits!
I'm not trying to be negative OP. I know many people appreciate the Disney personal shopping services. I just think it's a good idea to know exactly what you'll be paying and weigh that against other options.
I know Disney charges crazy high shipping fees when they send things from the parks, but they don't charge tax on most out of state shipments, so it tends to balance out. I don't know if the same is true at the outlets, but it might be worth looking into.
BTW, I wish the Disney outlet near me was this good. Unfortunately mine is very hit and miss, and mostly miss IMO.
