fini Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why does it cost so dang much to ship to the US from Australia? It just always seems waaaaay more expensive, more than any other country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 volume and your country tax system. Don`t feel bad it could be worse. For a while I was shipping a 10 Kg FedEx box back and forth between Calgary Alberta Canada and Perth. Same box same weight same shipper and a lot more from Canada to Perth than from Perth to Canada. Go figure. Talk to your currently elected King or Queen. It`s what they make that matters not you mate. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 volume and your country tax system. The US (my country) charges more for packages from Australia than, say, Japan? Or did you think I'm Australian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I bet Bob Crites knows why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yes I figured you were. There may not be any good reason they could just make up the rates I really can`t tell you but if you ask a vegie he mite. Best regards Moray James.

Marvel Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 fini, I believe it is a longer distance to Oz than to Japan. Not sure about flight from CA, but further east, they go over the top through Canada and down across Alaska. Since Oz is in the southern hemisphere, I'm not sure the route. Something shipped by boat would take forever. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
