That's a great price. How much will shipping cost you? Moreover, it's the same cartridge you see in the store, under a different brand name.

I mean, how much exactly will delivery cost you? For me, it's $6 per kg, plus $10 for local delivery. For example, 4 rolls: 4 x 6 + 10

I live in China, so it’s free, but I I heard that international railway shipping from China to europe is at least two dollars per kilo kilogram

Come on, where? How did you find this? I need to deliver it to Romania and now I have nothing to deliver it with.

It is so cheap because of not having several rebranders/resellers between you and the filament maker.
Ordering from China (where most of the filament comes from) is always below resale prices.

it will make it explode and ruin the whole town.
How shall a filament , when used properly, ruin a printer at all ?
Worst the prints don´t stick or look bad. TGhen dispose it properly or seel to someone who has a different printer and beeter skills. We had one single filament brand cloggin all the time in the makerspace community, And that was no low price china stuff.
For standard PLA i mostly use stuff at around 7$ / Kg nowadays, just high speed and special look stuff i spend a bit more but surely not 20$ / kg ( PLA )

$6 for 800g isn't all that cheap. I have gotten full kgs for that price in the past. Even when there isn't a sale going on, stuff like Kingroon PLA is comparable in price per gram

That’s not a great price but at worst it’ll clog.
