it-manWhere do you live? I live in New York and shipping to my place costs $2.75. If you're outside the U.S., I'm sure you know that the American flag on the right side of the page means shipping to the U.S. only, hence the insane cost that doesn't sound worth it to you. If you live in Hawaii, say, and shipping is that expensive, the cost would make the drop untenable, esp since Amazon sells this light with free shipping. If you live where I do, the drop's the best deal ATM.
it-manI have no problem with the sound of you or even many members moaning at the cost of international shipping. I only wanted to assure people in the U.S. that shipping would be reasonable for them. At the same time, I wanted to commiserate with the it-man!
Hope I didn't misrepresent the situation to members in Hawaii, though, where shipping might be cheap, for all I know. I just didn't want non-U.S. members to feel singled out.
VarholiaglimpHi, it's the inconsistency in shipping costs. There are items that are way larger that shipping is way way less. Also often small items come in big boxes with a good 4x the volume in filled-air plastic bubble wrap. Things are all over the show.
