Even though I haven't worked in the car parts industry for, like, 3 years I still deal in parts an aweful lot.
Lately I have been trying to clean out parts i have been accumilating over time. Performance BMW parts are at a premium right now i guess. Several people overseas want some of the parts I am selling at this moment. In particular one buyer in the UK and one buyer in Hong Kong stick out. here's why:
USPS is the only reasonable shipper for international shipping so I go to usps.com and get some shipping quotes for these guys. Hong Kong- less than $20. UK- $170.
Who is smoking the crack here? the UK is technically closer to me by hundreds of miles and yet the shipping cost is almost TENFOLD that of mainland Asia!? WTF.
