To me paying up to 4 times the cost of a product in freight is ridiculous...
I'd pay $15-25 US to get any light kit shipped to me, maybe 1/10th of the price of the product. Is there a hidden government tax or import tariff applied to your purchase? That's all I can think of to explain such a high freight cost. |

The import and export is anywhere from 5 to 15% depending on what it is. A 680 dollar camera will cost another 197 dollars alone. I just sent him a make believe package that had value of 100 US dollars and it cost 262 dollars to send. The package weighed one Kilogram and was 41X33X3 cm.
