How come you can sell to the trading company anywhere but you need to go get purchases?

I am sure this question must have been asked before, but I searched on mail and didn’t find anything.
Anyway, I almost never sell things in the market, I just buy materials for crafting, and I don’t see why those purchased items can’t be mailed to me. I would gladly pay a delivery fee instead of constantly having to run back and forth from the crafting station to the trading company. Maybe that fee needs to be distance based so if your way out in the wilderness needing supplies, that costs extra, maybe a LOT extra.
I love using the crafting stations in Sparkfly Fen, but I often need to have another character parked at a trading station to drop newly purchased items in the bank. Lots of time spent logging in and out and load on the servers to do so.
Adding the bank tab to the crafting station was WONDERFUL, why didn’t they go the extra step and incorporate the trading post as well?
Why are you allowed to solve inventory problems in the field by selling to the market, but you cannot buy needed items in the same way? Quests/NPCs can mail you stuff, why can’t the trading company???

As you probably know, the BLTC likes to make money and as such, they don’t offer free deliveries. However, if you want to pay for deliveries, you can. It currently costs 41s for 1 delivery session.

I don’t want a whole delivery session, just a mail like other things are delivered in the game. Some small percentage of the order price would be fair and make them plenty of money.

It won’t happen as long as they have the Black Lion Expresses in the Gem Store.

Mail? you mean stuff bought with gems? Well delivery cost is included for those items in the price in gems. For regular stuff you can pay for the services of the BL express merchant or pick them up.
As for why can you sell in the middle of nowhere… why do you think you pay a 5% fee up front? ;-)

Do what I did, buy a second account and level up one character.
Extra storage, mail to my mains any time, now if only I could get 2 instances of the game running on one computer.

By mail I am referring to the way they implemented the Mad King History books. On completion of the quest, they mailed you the item. Solves the storage full issue also.
The 5% up front is to prevent bogus sale attempts.
I am asking for an optional x% delivery charge, or just integration with the crafting station.

kinda missed the point about the fee… I was just giving you a way to reconcile why they let you do it one way and no the other with a “fun” explanation. Instead of a cold answer of " to limit players and maybe sell a BL trader express every now and then".
Posted by: Elric Of Melnibone.4781
Well if they wanted to be consistent AND sell more trader express, they could prevent both ways.
If they are trying to ‘sell’ convenience I could see the value of a merchant/banker/trader if your crew is deep in the ‘jungle’ and needs to process their inventory.
They make us pay to jump around but it only costs us copper, not $, why not provide another copper sink to sell, or buy from the trader.
