    Thanks for catching that. I changed my mind only 20 minutes after signing up... The USPS is making a mint off of insurance on this thing!

    I had wondered if there was a way around this with the Bifrost Multibit - I know Alex ships his gear via fedex with high insurance and the shipping is not crazy.

    I would not have an easy way to hear these otherwise , so it is a small price to pay for the ability.

    No offense guys but according to the post office website the insurance for this item would be $13.35. $9.60 ($600) + 3.90 ($300). Not a big deal and it ensures the person who loaned it out gets their product protected in case of anything during the shipping process.

    well you answered the question I was just looking up - that is very reasonable, I frequently ship items around the country for more.

    I wasnt really complaining. But it'll be $25 to try them out. (More if signature confirmation is used). It was more than i expected.

    Cheap for the opportunity though and obviously essential to honor the buyer... But every person has to decide how much is too much. For me, what changed my mind is that i want realistically going to buy them... Probably ever. If i were, it would be worth it.

    That being said, the usps offers insurance because they lose far less packages than they insure.

    I was innocent as you a few years ago. Thought I'll never buy anything over $300. Until I decided to buy a pair of CIEMs as graduation spoil. Things escalated quickly then...

    Apparently arrived on Tuesday but I only got them on Wednesday night - my wife presumed I saw the box . Plan to ship them out Tuesday morning as it is the only day I get close to a PO when it is open.

    Assuming Caritas is next on the list - please PM me your address

    My short review - not for me, MUCH preferred the FitEar TG!334
