And yet: I can get a parcel from the USA for $12 postage; someone in the UK can send a smallish parcel here for around GBP2.50; and, from China they can send a small parcel for so low they give free postage on a $2 item.
I figure we must be subsidising the rest of the world on postage costs.
(OK, so the examples you give were for bigger parcels, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good old fashioned rant .... and we're still overcharged on a world scale, anyway).
