For the last two weeks I have been surfing Facebook Marketplace for a new camera bag. Because I am a somewhat poor (and now broke) student, I needed to find something cheap. I found a Think Tank camera bag, which was exactly what I wanted. I messaged the seller, he was located in BC, and I asked him if he was willing to ship to Edmonton. He says yes, and we do the regular banter about pricing. (I lost btw and had to pay full price. Obviously I'm not a very good bargainer). A couple days after that he let me know that he was at Purolator and was ready to send the camera bag, I just had to send him an e-transfer. When he sent me the final price I was nearly knocked over. $95.00 in just shipping expenses?! What? I looked again. Yup, I wasn't seeing things. He was sending it by courier instead of Canada Post! I swallowed my indignity at the unreasonable price, and sent him the e-transfer.
It arrived at my door a few days later! I am excited to see how well it works at weddings!!
Already branded;)...
It is pretty much a suitcase for camera gear...
*Oh and pro tip...make sure you ship through Canada Post because their shipping is a lot cheaper...like 70 dollars cheaper...*
Happy Friday!
