Yea I think I might not have been fast enough. I guess its looking like it might be back ordered.

Syph007 · **Reply #7 on:** January 09, 2012, 10:51:51 PM

It for sure said in stock when I found the page. I guess they didnt have many on hand. I didnt even order any.

We Ship Around The World!
We ship most of our products to most countries in the world using FEDEX and USPS Expressmail. Most international FedEx packages start at $29.95 US ($24.95 US for shipments to Canada) and increase about $3-4 US per pound of weight. Some areas may be more. USPS Expressmail small packages ship for $36 US and increase about $3-4 US per pound of weight.

At these shipping costs it's almost useless for non US customers.

I really hate that kind of crap. If you are going to inflate international shipping to a point beyond stupid, why not just put CONUS only? At least that's honest.

I guess they figure if you really want something you'll pay it.

Nope. It just means I keep googling until I find someone who isn't out to rip me off...

I usually try to add more things, if the postage cost stays the same, to make it worth my while (and is a good excuse)

I was quoted on eBay $24.95 for three victorinox mini Screwdrivers...
so i through in a victorinox spirit too, for the same postage cost... see??

It is a problem, however. Some sellers send me knives for $2, others require $50... now I have paid $50 for having shipped to me 8 large LM tools and was OK with it. But the same seller wants the same amount for even 1 LM tool..

Syph007 · **Reply #13 on:** January 10, 2012, 02:37:35 PM

Ya I generally buy multiple knives at one time to make the shipping worth it. At that price 4 would be perfect as it would keep it under the pay duty level and make the shipping more reasonable per knife.

There are also US based members that are willing to receive and send on packages for a fraction of the cost. I wanted some leather rings for a project I am working on and the total order was something like $5.75 with free shipping to the US and $25 shipping to Canada. I asked Tim (Felinevet) to order them and ship them on to me and it cost less than $10 for the item and shipping, including rounding up for the kitties.

I can understand making a few dollars over shipping to cover the costs of packaging and a trip to the PO, but to charge $25 shipping is highway robbery.

What would you than say about this. YourCornerStore.com

That's for a Spyderco Bug.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:23:59 PM

If you don't know what GFYS stands for you should Google it because I can't say it here. That's pretty well what I would tell yourcornerstore.com if they sent me an invoice for that much.

That's why I stick to forum exchange, edcsource and edcdepot (only about 2usd shipping for the same item internationaly). Most stores have outrageus prices for international shipping but Yourcornerstore is the worst I found so far.

I thought GFYS was one of those New Age terms ...... Go Find Yourself

It's so cool your going to Go Find Yourself. I feel so much better after I Found Myself. After you Go Find Yourself, lets go get drunk and (well you know).
