Good day Henry,
I am very sorry to hear that you are not happy with your purchase.
You chose Fed Ex to deliver your online order, we added Fed Ex to the delivery options to help customers pick the best shipping method and price for them. Carriers such as UPS and Fed Ex rates continue to increase, and unfortunately, we have no control over what these third party vendors charge. We are just as frustrated at the high costs and continual increases. Sadly, there is nothing that we can do about this. Your order weighed roughly 105 lbs per box, sent in 6 separate boxes, the charge you received was actually our discounted / negotiated rate of $581.31.
We prefer to be transparent and lay out all costs for our customers, giving them shipping options.
When viewing online order 34698, it looks as if you ordered a qty of 6 rolls / pcs for the Quiet Barrier Tape. Our website clearly describes the complete dimensions of the roll and what it will cover, I have added the link here:
https://www.soundproofcow.com/product/quiet-barrier-tape/
and the information below. It also clearly states that one roll covers 8 linear feet, if you did not have enough material for your job that would be a calculation error, not an error on our end.
Specifications
Weight 3 lbs
Dimensions 3 in. x 8 ft.
Thickness 1/16 in.
Weight 2 lbs.
Coverage 8 linear ft.
Quantity 1 roll
As with any purchase, through any company, if you do not feel the shipping charge is reasonable, you do not have to purchase the material.
Another option would be to call our sales team and discuss your project and your concerns. Our team would have told you that typically the Quiet Barrier Tape is used with our Quiet Barrier Specialty Composite, not our Impact Barrier QT Flooring underlayment. They could have also seen if another carrier, perhaps freight would have been a less expensive option, unfortunately, you did not call and speak with anyone on our team so we were unable to assist.
We will also be emailing the address we have on file.
We wish you the best.
