Is there just postage (shipping), or does one or both countries charge some export/import "tax" on the goods? Depends on the size/weight of the item. Largeish items used to be dead cheap and worthwhile getting sent by USPS Surface Mail - slow boat from NY, I assume. Unfortunately, USPS stopped that and the cheapest service is now 1st Class International, which is cheap for small/light items but anything heavier now has to go by much more expensive and not-worthwhile rate. Another problem can be the sellers' ignorance of, or reluctance to, use USPS 1st Class - some are downright obstructionist, while others are quite flexible - I cite KEH camera dealers as a prime example of the latter. |
