I'm not sure how many people thought that they would still be paying $8 to ship 400 switches from Singapore to Brazil, but, as evidenced by the number of unpaid invoices, it's a very small number
^ that. I took the original statement of $7~8 / 100 switches as "okay, so 200 is ~`$16, 300 is ~$24 etc... seemed utterly logical to me when it concerns shipping internationally, which is all weight-based.
I guess it's the same as when microwave manufacturers 'forget' to specify in the manual "to not put live animals in the unit" they are liable to get sued by people who've microwaved their cats...
So what happens now the Browns have broken the 20k limit? People who already paid their invoices are compensated with the 0.24 vs 0.16 p/switch price difference? *I didn't get any browns, but just curious
If only we were all as logical as you were. I mean, it's not like there are almost 200 countries in the world...we should all know the standards of shipping just like you do, right? I'd help you get off of your high horse, but...I'm sure your utter logic will help you down.

Not everyone knows these things. It's not common knowledge. Just like if I were to ask you what SWR means...you wouldn't know, but a person into antenna design would.
Another example is the following...
1. March 16th payment deadline, transferring the money to Gateron, getting the shipment FROM Gateron to Shadovved, sorting and packaging, and still quote an April 1/2 ship date? Does that actually sound realistic to you guys?
That was the quote I was given
So were we...we were told shipping would be $7-8, right? How is someone supposed to deduce any more details from that? Use all the logic in the world, but the fact of the matter is...it's not so logical when so many people have the same sentiment I do. That's it.
You want to see the lack of communication?

Tell me again about your logic? I mean, April 1st clearly means 16th, right? It's utterly logical...give me a break. Has your horse gotten a bit shorter yet?
First off, I'm very sick and on mobile so I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense. Will do my best to word this correctly.
I understand when you seem to get defensive or have a bit of an attitude when you want to get answers to something that seems unreasonable like the shipping cost.
I don't understand is why you choose to instigate and pick fights with people by giving them an attitude and being rude.
Yea, I'm still debating ordering because of the shipping, and yes, I don't know everything about shipping.
If I have a problem with shipping, I'll inform myself however I can, and if I still feel uncomfortable, I just won't buy.
"Not everyone knows these things. It's not common knowledge. Just like if I were to ask you what SWR means...you wouldn't know, but a person into antenna design would."
If you were to ask what SWR meant and I was BUYING AN ANTENNA, then sure, maybe your example would make sense. No point in brining that up in this case.
Just stop trying to start fights.
Shipping is something not everyone knows everything about, so if you want to know because you are confused on why the cost is what it is, then ask or do some research.
If there is some differences on what is on the form and the OP in terms of shipping dates, so what? Are you in a rush to get these? Are you moving on the 4th and will need to change your address?
If that is the case or not, I understand your concern if it is one.
I'd like to know when this is going to ship, but you can't just come and be like "look at all these 'errors' in this GB. Look! The dates don't match either! They're so bad!"
Again, if it a concern because you have an issue, I understand and you should try and find out if there is a more accurate date. If it isn't, then what is the deal with making a bigger issue than it is.
Just stop trying to start something. If you want to get to the bottom of things and make things clear, do it in a civil manner.
