Postage from the US used to be VERY reasonable - to the point I used to import a lot from the US (large items, and the postage was still around $60, Global Priority). Then Obama whacked on the short lived "Tax" when the US $ slumped dramatically, even for exports TO America ($10 per item sent from Australia that the SENDER paid at the Post Office). When that was vehemently opposed, they just dropped it and increased postage costs to and from through the roof. And nothing has yet changed under Donald.
So, purchase from Europe instead. Last item I compared Agena vs TE, TE came in $24 US cheaper, and the TE item was using UPS express...so you can tell who got the money.
