Uh yes, we are past that part about opting out. The point is why are you opting out of something you never opted in for. THEY opted you in.

you dug this up on their website. Where is all this optional verbage in the cart? Or when you click proceed to checkout, why is it never mentioned then? Is that how you excuse it? Because there is fine print on the website???
You should be able to go to a website, purchase and check out without any undisclosed added charges that you need opt out of.
And it's "self insurance" lol....sheer profit. Which was always the motive.

Shipping and insurance FAQ's. It's written in the disclosure right next to the shipping insurance box that everyone should be unchecking if they order less than $100 of products, per inclusive $100 USPS ground advantage insurance. I agree with you that these types of business tactics that profit from the uninformed are unethical. They don't spell it out clearly, but as we all can surmise, this is because you can fit thousands of dollars woth of beans in a small package. Hence the reason for the added insurance options. I would like to imagine that this posting can help at least a few people. Capitalizing on contingencies is chameleon that is as old as time itself. We all need to read the details before agreeing to all things now days unfortunately. Details and disclosures that are regularly ignored will sometimes blow your mind, a good example would be the user agreement for tictok, which I will never agree to.

I admit to not bothering to read the fine print crapola on most things. It seems that at this point in time, ordering on a website would be a fairly easy thing to do. WITHOUT reading any boilerplate. You can see that from the cart I created. It listed the cost for shipping and also named the shipping type. At the bottom it said $86.95 as the total. You then click proceed and then they slip the extra insurance charge in. One click is all that happened. Total is now $94.95. ZERO explanation for the change. NONE of that boilerplate you posted, is shown. So while they don't show the boilerplate they do check that box. And that's sleazy.
At least folks will realize they can uncheck that box now. But it won't be everyone. NASCO will still be taking advantage of unsuspecting customers. Realize that one of the nasco folks figured this scam out and convinced the rest it was a good idea to go forward with..........and they did!
Do any other seed banks pull this crap? Does Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Ebay? Where is it that customers already have insurance and then get extra insurance for no reason?
Why can Nasco interact and check the insurance box on your behalf without asking but they can't determine the shipping method already has ample insurance? Because one is profitable and one is not.
Let's say that $80 pack gets lost. There's USPS insurance already on it......So what becomes of the additional insurance money paid? It goes right in there pocket.
When you buy something online from someone, THEY have to deliver what you bought and paid for. The insurance is on the vendor. That's pretty standard. They are only taking care of themselves here. It's their obligation to deliver, they are responsible for any insurance. Does not matter the $$$ value of the package.

I've had plenty packages and envelopes delivered to the wrong address. Fair amount of people dont use credit cards. An $8 fee for saving hours of time on the phone, and waiting months for refund might be appealing to some on a $400 purchase.
check out "craft breeders.com"many re-makes of some InHouse strains ($25.00 a pack fems) if short on money would consider getting some - just ordered some Gorilla Road Kill (skunk #1 x Gorilla Glue x Tripe Og x Road Kill skunk from Skunk Works)($60.00 //10 fems) sounds like a heavy yielder !!
