Okay, last week I shipped one of the new books to the Netherlands. It cost me $49.20. That's outrageous but it gets worse. This week I went to the same post office with an identical book, same packaging and going to the Netherlands and the clerk quoted me $83.00. I explained to him the previous weeks shipping and he said that's what the computer is telling me. He said come back tomorrow and talk to the lady. He also said shipping to New Zealand was going to be $53.00. This was reasonable but I didn't have that book ready to post. I said that does not make sense because New Zealand is a lot farther away than the Netherlands. Same response, thats what the computer says. Okay round three, my third trip to the post office. Now the New Zealand package is $78.00 and the one to the Netherlands is $58.30. SO until I find out what is going on I am not taking any orders outside of the United States. I have a hard time justifying selling a book to someone for $60 and charging them over $70 for postage. This is the final straw with all of the problems I had with the publisher and now this. It is making me wonder if I want to continue to sell my books anymore. Certainly not overseas. I don't do it for profit but out of a passion for the knives and for those of you who share that passion.
