FWIW, I've received a package via FedEx from TBS and one from DHL from Superdenim and didn't get hit on either. There's still hope.
Well... I just noticed UPS is the one company I haven't had to deal with internationally
once I ordered a $20 item from the US and had to pay $70 in fees to UPS, never again
Fedex delivery guy told me they include a flat rate brokerage in the shipping fee they charge the merchant, and I just get hit with customs from them, which is a predictable 15 to 20 % so it isn't too bad, same with DHL except you pay a little brokerage according to some percentage
but UPS just slaps that brokerage price tag on there depending on their mood
What does it matter since uniqlo Webstore is about to launch this fall.
My guess is unless a COS opens up, Suddenlee is about to lose much of its sales.
Of course they would start a web store once I actually move to New York. -______-
