Someone might like this straight.
Moderators, by all means erase this if it's not
in the spirit of our ethos.
I don't know if this is appropriate or not....
I bought two razors from him yesterday.
Can't afford this but someone might.
You just have to pay a butt-load of shipping...
If you can find another straight on his site, that will help
reduce the postage.
I am not in any way affiliated with "Bear".

I'm confused about the outrageous US shipping. Item location says it is in New Mexico. Am I missing something?

Actually when you look at the item on the US ebay the shipping in the US is $6.30. international priority mail of a small flat rate box to Australia is $23.95. the OP gave us the Australian ebay not the American ebay
nope I have no idea who the seller is; but why bash before you read?

All living Oz I see a lot of well over priced shipping which I won't bid on
eg. I can get a whole Push bike in a box from Tampa Florida delivered to central Queensland for $100-150 USD Max
I have and do get razors for only around $10-15 USD max
$23 for postage is blatant theft let alone when I see around $50 USD on some razors these sellers need to get serious and stop ripping buyers off cheers DLast edited by Substance; 09-13-2013 at 05:42 AM.

When you say $23 is theft, do you mean by the seller or by the post office? I've sold some items internationally where I really only trust priority mail, and I charge at cost, which comes out to that much. The priority has a lot of benefits inside the US until it goes abroad, and is generally faster for international. Originally Posted by Substance

Shipping to S. Texas is only $6.30. The site is defaulting to Australian shipping.
Resetting the shipping to US will adjust the shipping price drastically.

If you're in the US and want to be able to collect an insurance claim on anything international, shipping is in the ballpark of $50.
There are cheaper ways to ship, but if it's lost or damaged, someone has to eat it.
