shipping to hong kong is Insane!
 
:eek4: 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:cjerk: :ky:condom and gas money :skid: 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.

true but in DE that stuff isn't hard to come by either. Just ask someone from the tzcheck republic.

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.
