The US Postal Service (USPS) has recently changed the way it handles international shipments.
Previously, duties, tariffs, and taxes (i.e. “landed cost fees”) were collected by the post service in the country the package was sent to, before the package was delivered.
Recently, USPS has negotiated with several countries to collect these fees from the shipper (i.e. me). As you know, these costs are substantial, and my shop has no way of calculating them when it creates the order.
For this reason, I’ve removed the USD 10 surcharge I added to the cost of CTR2-Quad and CTR2-Max for international shipping. The shop will just charge the flat rate on all orders (currently USD 8.00). For international orders, I’ll send you a separate PayPal invoice for the actual international shipping cost (minus the flat rate from the order), once I create the shipping label and have the final shipping costs.
I hope this makes sense. I know this is inconvenient for both of us, but it seems to be the world we live in now.
