Precisely how heavy are military shoes? If you are looking to ship some large, chunky patrol boots then you've in all probability asked this question. Especially if you need to post them overseas. When your product is pretty large it can result in some quite substantial charges which is not great when you have most probably had to spend quite a bit on the boots to begin with.
I first came across this issue as I needed to send back some faulty boots to a police force and armed service retailer. Thankfully I still had the shoe box, if I hadn't, they could have been pretty tricky to pack up. They ended up costing me 15 to send back for the reason that had been so large and heavy. I had been fortunate because this expense was reimbursed for me. The reason being these were malfunctioning shoes and it was not really my fault that these were required to be delivered back to the company I got them from.
Now, I've needed to mail my dad some Meindl Boots. He is over in Northern Ireland with his work and he requires his other pair of boots mailed up to him. In this situation too I'll ensure I get repaid for the cost of mailing them. It isn't really my fault he forgot these and desires them to get posted to him. This time around I made a decision to look at different ways of dispatching the boots and seeing if there is a less costly mailing service which I could use.
I was able to do a bit of searching online and I managed to get a courier service who come and pick-up my package in addition to deliver it directly to his doorway for only 6. Yes, this meant I had to stay at home for a day waiting for them to come to get the parcel from me which was not perfect. But it was a whole lot less costly so it was well worth this modest trouble. It turned out to be an excuse to stay in watching a bit of day time TV! If they hadn't turned up on-time to collect the parcel, I'd have been somewhat irked though.
That simply just goes to show how it's well worth checking alternatives in advance of purchase. And that is not just when posting things! I've also had another search online for army shoes or boots and I'm pretty amazed that so many retailers want to provide free delivery for this sort of product. When you read the information of Meindl shoes, it tells you that a single shoe might weigh more than 700 grams. Shipping them will not be cheap can it?
