Perhaps you can email Brian @ EK and tell him that there's no need to FedEx those items to him and prefer if he can ship first class to you? That way it'll be cheaper for you...

I have those items mentioned, but I paid $10.50 for those along with another keyboard...

Looks like a no-go...

Hi Daniel,

At this time, we're only offering a trackable flat rate service for small international shipments. We've offered a non-trackable international first class option in the past, but it requires we fill out a customs form that isn't easy to automate and the packages must be hand carried to the post office. Because of the special handling involved we had to charge more for these packages than domestic first class even though the postage itself wasn't much higher; the result was international customers complaining because they didn't understand why they had to pay more than the stated postage nor why it wasn't trackable for the money they paid.

So...until we find an alternative international service that is easily automatable and doesn't cause customer confusion, the flat rate is all we're offering. I recommend you find a friend that is interested in some small items so that you can share the shipping cost.


Best Regards,
Brian

DangWang, where are you located in? I'm guessing not the states...

Hi Daniel,

I've made some modifications to our shipping calculator. Please try
placing your order again and see if the shipping cost is acceptable.

Shipping for the 3 items has been changed to $3.50 instead of $10.50!  Thanks for the suggestion.
