Does anyone know why shippping is so outrageous when you buy cherry mx switches off armygroup.

I added in ~30 switches costing 330, but shipping is ~7000twd.

Anyone know why?

I believe they're in Asia, but I might be wrong.

There are sites in the US that sell switches. They're in the Cherry MX wiki entry, but I can remember that Mouser.com has them. They're usually $1 to 80 cents a switch, plus whatever shipping would be. Might be a better deal.

They charge a nominal shipping rate and extra NT$100 per additional item which explains why they cost so much
