Thats a completely valid price for EMS shipping that takes 3 days in transit internationally. Working in the business of shipping parcels for clients this was put in perspective for me.

Thing is, I hardly need the express 3 days service and would be completely satisfied with Air mail or economy air mail with registered tracking both of which would cost 35% to 40% less than the EMS service. I asked for the option but apparently they ONLY ship with EMS.

I'm getting a shirt and a nylon jacket, and its costing me more than shipping a suit from Singapore.

I'm interested in getting the Geller scar knit cardigan if there's still a place that has it for sale. Does anyone know of one? I've seen the navy one for sale, but I'd be more interested in a different colorway. Also, I remember reading Nil's comment that they ran big. How big do they run exactly?

Actually using that pocket for a phone couldn't end with anything but disaster, especially given the light fabric.

More like $400, but yeah, that's crazy. Was it that big box shipment you were talking about?
