Kass! I feel your pain!

Yes, [livejournal.com profile] kass_rants, customers sometimes just try one's patience.

I have a small shop on Etsy where I sell my cottage industry beeswax candles. I don't have a large production line but I produce enough to be able to work off my excess energy with the hand dipping and get the cost of the supplies back with a small profit. I believe, that for the size candles I make, I'm the least expensive on Etsy.

Today a guy has been arguing with me over the cost of S&H "Well "I" can ship such and such a weight to "here" by UPS and it does not cost so much" and "I find it hard to justify "$" for 10 pairs of candles."

So buddy buy yer candles elsewhere. I even offered him the links to some other very nice and talented Etsy candle sellers.

Yea, I know, I know I just foisted off a grumpy customer on my Etsy buddies but heck it was getting hard to be polite.

I can almost hear his "hrumpf, well I never..." from here.
