Trying to purchase a bag from the US lately and every time I spot something I like the shipping cost is $40 to $60 US which makes it $82 or so on a $60 shipping fee. Quite rare to find shipping under $35. $35 sounds good compared to $60 I guess. But still $45 to $50 & up for us. Bags I am looking at usually are under a pound to 2 max. Why the crazy shipping costs? I find its worse now than when the GSP was in place. One seller agreed to ship first class which gives tracking where the shipping came out to about $23.00. I did not win the auction. She wasn't aware that she could ship this way. But if she can ship for that price why can't the rest of them also. I realize give or take a few dollars from this amount because of different weight and distance. Very few sellers with the lower shipping costs. Why do we need to ask and explain about the cheaper route every time. Some won't bother they don't care. Cannot find similar bags in Canada so have to resort to finding one in the US. No easy task because of all this. Any explanation for this. US complains about our shipping costs. Imagine having to pay this. Way too expensive. An item under 2 lbs, not that large and it'll cost me $60 shipping. No choice but to pass.
