HIGH cost of postage from US sellers?

[littlepuss3]

I wanted to buy a bottle of essential oil 15ml. from a US seller; their cost to post it was $28.22 for goodness sake. I checked out others from the US and they seem to have the highest post rates in the world!  It's unfair and unrealistic.  What is going on here. Are these prices legitimite and if not how are these sellers getting away with this??

I think that we, in Australia, buy locally if we can obtain what we need here.

Please check the date of threads prior to bumping.  This is 10 years old.

I wonder how many price increases there have been in that time.

I did TEN YEARS ago when I posted and still do. Your point?
