riddle me this, Batman
Why is it that it costs me $12 to send a small package to Chicago from Alabama via USPS,
BUT
I can order an item on EBay from China, they ship it ChinaPost, it flies from China to Chicago, then gets sent to me via USPS and the total cost of shipping is $3
Something wrong with this picture ?
Maybe we should all move to China ......
OOOOPS !! Am I getting political here ?

Re: riddle me this, Batman
I get great deals on shipping, since Nissan has an internal FedEx hub. BUT, I still run into this anomaly...
For instance, I shipped a two-pound part to PA for ~$4
I shipped a part weighing 0.46 to NY for $6.80
