- Wingman4l7 4y agoWe could end the scourge of Chinese junk overnight if we overhauled their status. It's unconscionable that it costs more to mail something domestically within the US than it does for a Chinese seller to mail a comparable item internationally via ePacket... which is then handled and delivered via the USPS. I'm sick of US-based businesses' shipping costs subsidizing their own competition.
