what do you guys think about this?
Sounds expensive. I'd not be too happy if it were coming in the other direction.
Why don't you pm Robin & see what he says?
Not impossible. Insured shipping is very expensive.
A bit too much. Probably includes insurance and a guarantee for the seller that you've actually received it. Also, probably a private entreprise like DHL.
I live in Belgium, a country next to Germany so the cost should be comparable or slightly less in Germany. Sending a package up to 350 gr, including receipt for delivery and insured value up to 250 EUR would cost 20 EUR. Between 350gr and 1 kilo that would be 27 EUR. Cheapest package would be about 10 EUR but then there would be no package tracing, insurance etc. ... All this would be using official mail, anything private would cost more.
I just paid 25 euros insured shipping for 10 razors from Germany to the UK, and £22 insured shipping for 7 razors from Sweden to the UK, so it's not that far off the mark.

Neil
What are the razors ? Inquiring minds want to know. :mace:
it was 2 Eskulstina.
i just thought seller is same person and 2 razors will fit small package and shipping will be not so much Expensive.

The ones you have to look out for are the ones who only do bank transfers you need to read the payment option before you bid, another thing is they might not want to bother shipping to the US. I had someone so nice though they waited for a personal check because he didn't have paypal, I guess it cost too much money to have paypal in Germany.
I recently bought a Zassenhaus 'Brilliant' coffee grinder from an ebay seller in Germany. It cost $18.00 USD shipped insured with expedited shipping and is substantially larger than 2 razors. I don't know if the seller of the razors is intending to overcharge on the shipping but I think that he is. Might be out of inexperience though.
+1, that's shaaaaaddddyyyQuote:

The dollar is gaining strengh against the Euro, and the trend looks to continue. Hopefully that will soon translate into smaller shipping costs from Europe to the USA.
I ship international a lot. From here to Germany you can send 2 razors in a small flat rate box for 15 bucks. It is suppose to be there within 10 business days. If you want any type of tracking then you need use Express and that costs 35 bucks I believe. 40 Euros sounds a little steep but I guess it depends on how it is being shipped.
