Title: Cheapest country to deliver from
Post by: Giorgio on Sun, 20 November 2016, 03:01:48
Suppose that you want to organise a group buy, and that you need to ship gmk sets worldwide, what country would you pick, to deliver the packages at the lowest rate? Or is this a nonexistent problem, since most buyers are from the US? Therefore for most members it would be cheaper to deliver from the USA.

If you factor GMK to GB Organizer shipping cost I think cheapest would be Germany.... but Germany going out I am not sure.

I believe GMK Carbon was organized by someone from Germany maybe part of the reason it was selling at lower base price?

China  TO  Usa..  Cheapest by far..


But obviously   if you're only sending short distance,  then,  China to China, or China to HK, or China to Japan are also among the lowest rates.

Yes, he was probably from Germany, but massdrop doesn't use intermediaries, it treats directly with gmk. But obviously a germam proxy could be an idea.
