Package from China

grumpygy
Ordered some stuff one from Nevada and one from China same day.

Package from China got here Yesterday and Package from Nevada will be delivered today.

Something is just not right about that.

Plus the tracking from the China one was great.


Both Delivered USPS.

    China has a "special deal" with the USPS. That accounts for some of the costs. Why? ask the post office why it's cheaper to ship from china.

    Not even Close. China was about $30.00 and the USA one about $130.00.

    As far as cost of shipping I had to pay for the one from Nevada. The china one was free shipping.

    On eBay new DVD TV series are cloned and sold from China for one third what they are in the US plus they are available a month or 2 before they are released here

    And, they have the FBI warning against copying [:D][:D]

    I ordered a .99 cent bubble level that attaches to pic rail. Didn't look where it was coming from. Shipping was $3.00. I took a look after week passed. Some poodunk China [:0]. ETA got pushed back twice or thrice? finally got it three months later (or was it closer to four?). I wrote it off as getting chinked but I got it. Looked at it and I'm pretty sure I don't know where it is. General area to look and I might find it easy [:D].

    Did that with DVD, too. Couldn't find it locally but saw it so I ordered it. What I got played just fine. Packaging looked similar to the past season but I think the disc art looked faded or a bit off.

    I have noticed that the times an order came from China, the cost was really low and the time was better than I expected. Even when the stated time was two weeks, it arrived days earlier. However, shipping something to China is extremely expensive.
