Hi Guys,

This topic has been discussed at length in other posts. I believe all global shipping packages go to a central warehouse in Kansas(??) where they get repackaged for international shipping. The seller doesn't see the actual shipping and duty charged through global shipping.........but the buyer does, so I factor this in to the purchase price if I am buying. Needles to say I have probably only bought something with global shipping once, and missed out on many items I would have purchased easily in the past due to exorbitant costs (plus the conversion rate !!)
