- pjc50 13y agoThe postage thing was explained a while ago somewhere, possibly HN: there's no "settlement" between international postage services in the normal sense, and there's a HK postal service that will ship to the US for pennies. Once it arrives in the US postal service, it's their cost to deliver it.
- droidist2 13y agoAhh, that explains it. Thanks.
