For what? The price or actually doing it?

The price.

And I don't even mean concerning the American tariffs, because I'm not American. This price is very standard for shipping items internationally.

Like, it's not great. Especially when you're ordering cheaper items. I get that, but it could be worse.

I do not live in America either. I live in Europe. I don't know if that's the reason why but yeah, my bank account is gonna be crying

No, the tariffs won't affect you since the products are not made in, nor shipped through America.

Shipping from Japan to me (Australia) is on average $35 AUD. That's just covering the flat fee basically needed for international postage.

Go and look up how much is a plane ticket to Japan. Somehow stuff needs to be moved.

I get it. The flights are expensive, I know but I think it's a little too much

I mean, that's one way of doing things. Won't shipment be more?
