I ordered a few t shirts from overseas. Shipping was $3 and it took two weeks. If I in Canada try to buy a few t shirts from hot topic website, the shipping is roughly $50 and it takes 3-4 weeks, and it’s all shipped from inside the country.
I have no idea how shipping works, cause that shit makes no sense to me.
Postal services have agreements about delivering mail for each other. Some countries mail services, like China for example, heavily subsidize shipping.
It is not China that subsidizes the shipping - we are who does that. Because China is a developing country. And they make sure as hell that it stays that way for exactly such reasons, while also trying to look like a world leading nation.
