I meant to reply earlier when someone mentioned postage rates. If you are a 
glutton for punishment Google the 'International Postal Union' w.r.t. the 
subsidized shipping rates China gets on account of their 'third world' status. 

The reason it costs us 4x as much to ship small parcel 100 miles as it does for 
someone in China to send us the same parcel is because we are paying extra to 
subsidize what our governments lose on each parcel Chins sends to us. In the 
last 4 years or so international rates have gone up 30%+ for me to ship 
something but I can get something for $5 from China with free shipping...

Off my soapbox now 😊

 In Australia, $8 would barely get you casual indifference.  :-)
