I want to know why the shipping costs need US $390.00
Is overweight or too big it?
This is I online shopping car care experience in USA highest USPS shipping charge
Sorry my "English" is not good!!!

[Setec Astronomy]

Um...it is going halfway around the world.

[s348348348]

I've never tried this tall ship international cost in the online shopping experience

This is the first time experience!

I want to know how to purchase in order to save the ship, international shipping costs?

[10secdream]

In order to save on the shipping costs you may need to use an online shop that is closer to you (Europe).

[irsankao]

It doesn't sound right. You didn't order buckets nor any gallons size chemicals which definitely contribute to higher shipping fee.

I am guessing your order's weight is less than 15kgs. $390/15kg = U$26/kg is very expensive.

Maybe my math is wrong but after adding all the fluid weights together i came up with roughly 20lbs or 9kgs. The box would still be some what large due to how many products. Its a possibility that one of the products prohibit the package from going in a plane. Idk still seems pretty expensive though. Considering I bought HID headlights shipped from Japan years ago and I think i only paid 20 bucks. Granted this was a much smaller and lighter box.

USPS one box is 20 pounds overweight weight within $US:140

Thank you for your suggestion：xyxthumbs：

Ok international shipping isn't cheap for either of us, I looked into this shipment and its based on destination, we can quote a cheaper carrier but we usually pick the ones we know that will arrive safely. We find some countries over others do not do well with US Mail. This package was two boxes both over 20lbs if you factor that into where it is going the fees are high.
I will send you the most economical way and the prefered way, we just can't guarantee if something goes wrong the shipper will work quickly with us to fix it.

Again international shipping is by far not cheap especially when you order chemicals and lots of BOGOs that add weight.

Hello,
We received your request to cancel the order. Shipping costs are determined box by size, weight, and destination. Please note the package contains numerous liquids and for safety purposes due to weight restrictions is required to ship in two boxes. The dimensions are below:

Box 1: 24 lbs, 17x13x12
Box 2: 23 lbs, 17x13x12

We have no remaining stock of the Auto Finesse Desire Car Wax. This item would be removed from the amount would be used towards the shipping charges if you decided to proceed.

Our international department is available from 9am-6pm EST, Monday-Friday.

Please let us know if you wish to proceed with the order or continue with the cancellation.

I dont like to get into personal orders and their particulars but with this order, due to the added Bogo's we are looking at two boxes with a weight of over 20 pounds each.

Thanks for your explanation

Will match the right goods to buy next time

[swanicyouth]

Shipping seems about right to me for what it is and where it is going.

[Guessless]

USPS flat rate box ~ $80 per box maximum weight 20 Lbs (Size 11"x8-12"x51-2")
You'd need 3-5 boxes for you order's contents though.

Oh and your destination TAIWAN, for some reason postage to is more expensive than many other places. And many carriers don't offer insurance.

I know as I sent eBay stuff there a few times, and I'll say insurance particularly to TW is a must. Don't ask me how I know...
