WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! $100 for SHIPPING ALONE?!?!?! For 6 pounds?!

[Deja Q]

2700g of jelly babies, bought in the UK for $26, costs $100 to ship to the US.

1. Not out of MY back pocket it won't!

That's CRAZY nuts!

4. Cost of oil and the master of all bogeyman, the terra'st...

2. Something is VEY WRONG with that figure!

I could see maybe $20.00 at the most. I do some purchasing and some shipping internationally, and that figure is WAY out of line, unless you are requesting overnight service!

6. Insurance was 15 UK pounds and base cost was 35 UK pounds.

50 pounds.

Translation is something like 2:1 because of the falling dollar... $100.

They only had one option.

When I order Blake's 7 series 1 - 3 from amazon.com, I think I'll go el-cheapo shipping - which will still be $25 and will take 2~3 weeks.

3. The only possible response to that is

(and I don't know how well it translates into American):

"how's about bollocks!"

5. Wow. The dollar is not doing well, is it?

Wow.
