I first came to this conclusion years ago when I saw a pair of Chinese
copy mole grips in the £1.00 bin at the petrol station. It would cost
Ca. £10.00 for me to package and ship an item like that to the next
town

Is that in Harrods gift paper and same day delivery?

UK second class post and a jiffy bag - less than a fiver.

But likely in a container by sea. Which is extremely cheap.
