I've seen this a lot with chinese sellers - utterly unasked for, mind you.
Item declared as something _completely_ different, with a declared price
usually in 1..5 USD rangem, even if I paid USD 100+ for it. The one
case where the declared item type came closes to the actual item was
a laser pointer that was declared as a flashlight.
Still not worth it.
I suspect the US government is the real problem. Ever since they started
FREE TRADE
with Canada, Exporting out the country has become a real
night mare, and getting worse, other than books, for small orders.
I need $2 part from ebay and $80 shipping? My mattress popped a spring
Friday night, so I need to get a new bed stuff, from the local furniture
place.
Half the stuff was Online Only, and like $200 shipping. Don't people
keep some inventory in stock any more? Free delivery if using our
credit card, other wise $100 in town. How much for two gorilla's,
3 bananas and truck.
I don't mind paying shipping for the BIG STUFF, you expect that.
Ben.
PS: I ordered off Amazon, a new mattress in Monday, a new bed frame
Thursday.
