We know the costs to ship (especially internationally) are high, but the cost you see at checkout is often at a discount of what we pay to prepare, package, and ship your order. For international shipping, we choose to ship via USPS so that customers only need to be responsible for VAT & local fees but we cover the brokerage fees that would normally add an extra 25% to each order. That makes the cost you see at checkout higher, but the cost you'll pay at package pickup much lower.
We know shipping costs can be frustrating, but contacting us to ask for a discount will unfortunately not change the cost you see at checkout as our staff will have the same answer for you. We hope to offer better and cheaper rates as we continue to grow with your support!
