Why are postage costs to Australia so expensive ? They are absolutely prohibitive !

Why ???

Are you looking at items in the USA?

The seller is probably using the Global Shipping Program which is very expensive.

I'm buying , or trying to , from around the globe . Poland , U.K. , America , Hong Kong , Belgium etc.. American postage is esspecially expensive .

[liver248]

Hopefully to enable Australian sellers to get a look-in?

Going the other way - Aust to the Us - To send 3 magazines as an airmail parcel from Australia to the US it costs $42.55. (1-1.5kg). Plus $1.85 for padded bag. I think that is very expensive.

Does the buyer agree? That is the test.

as a seller you'll need to opt out of the global shipping program - its a rippoff, it also delays your shippin and for no good reason too!
