Default shipping to hong kong is Insane!

I had a buyer for my autometer a/f guage, I asked 35 dollers for it, got the payment in full via paypal for 35.00, the adress to ship:HONG KONG! , The post office wanted 20 dollers for shipping to the particular area in hong cong....so damn I basically made a prof of 15 dollers...wHoOp e dee condom and gas money yay

even more insane fed-ex wanted 60.00 dollers and ups wanted 75.00....wtf man

Hard lesson learned, sucks pretty bad. I would have emailed them saying it's extra to ship to hongkong and waited for more payment.

If you mail it 7 grams at a time you can send it in a normal envelope pretty cheap... and without customs inspection too That wouldn't have worked for Rican unfortunately, but man did it make my life a bit better while in DE.

Just think about it, it is not like it can go UPS/Fed Ex GROUND to Hong Kong. I think most shippers look at that as air freight, unless USPS puts it on the slow boat.

The reason it takes 2 weeks to foreign countries, the package still has to go through customs in those countries.
