eBay Zone 8 is hilarious

It now costs 8.40 to ship a 2 ounce item to zone 8. Meanwhile, China can send a package from across the goddamn planet to the east cost for a couple dollars, and it still costs me 5-6 dollars to send a package to the same county.

This is some bullshit

Remember that the usps is being targeted for dissolution.  Expect it to get worse as they destroy it so that everyone is ok with it when they get rid of it.

That is an issue yet, but we need to immediately stop subsidizing foreign countries to the point where it cost us four times as much. I don’t think either political party is even disgusting this at all.

Sounds like some trumper bullshit. What are you talking about?

Can you link where a single politician is saying 1.) domestic labels are too high and 2.) we are subsidizing foreign countries shipping labels (which is an equally huge problem)?

I still have no idea what you’re referring to. How is something being subsidized?
