The problem lies in not knowing, or being able to know, what the final cost of shipping from China to the US is going to be. For a layman, especially one who has never purchased from overseas, US customs regulations and fees are essentially unknowable... and appear to be deliberately so.

Well , yes . Totally understand .

But if ship by DHL , UPS Fedex , that is door to ddor service .

I just remember , years ago , a customer told me when UPS delivered the goods to him , they charged him maybe I can't remember that ... 2%0 of the goods cost .
