<p>[QUOTE="ChiaChic, post: 360477, member: 7527"]I've been buying from EBTH for over a year. They have a lot of unique items. I have to confine my purchases to those I can pick up locally due to their outrageous shipping rates. I was told this week that they were closing all but 8 locations. They will no longer have a warehouse in Indianapolis, and there will be no local employees to assist with questions. Their local staff was incredible. If you are unable to pick up your items at the estate during the pick-up window, you will no longer have the option of paying for local delivery (usually $75 but still a great deal compared to their shipping rates); nor will you have the option of paying a fee to have the items sent to the local warehouse for a small fee. They will ship the item from Indpls to their Ohio warehouse then ship it from Ohio back to Indianapolis, and charge ten times what any other shipper would charge. Shipping often takes a VERY long time. Most of their recent sales have had very limited pick-up windows, like 1-4pm on a weekday. Sellers will no longer have the option of having all of the items transferred to the local warehouse instead of having all of the buyers come to their home. Everything I loved about EBTH is being eliminated. I don't know that I feel comfortable buying with no local representatives to assist with questions or problems; can't take off work to accommodate the limited pick up window and can't justify paying the shipping costs. Sounds like they are moving in the wrong direction to me. I'll miss them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
