Just about everything I see from China, AliExpress, Banggood and many Ebay sellers do have "free packet shipping". The problem is, it takes about 3 weeks on average to get your parts. If I can't find it anywhere else, I will buy from China, but I usually try to find an American seller so I can get the item in a few days.

I got my exhaust system for like $15 and, it only took about 5 days. Bill

Yeah, but Banggoods US warehouse doesn't have as big of a selection as their Chinese warehouses.

I've seen some parts on AliExpress that I thought about taking a chance on until I saw the shipping costs. Pipes, BBKs, bigger stuff like that.

Speaking of subsidized shipping. Our government used to subsidize our postal service also.
I have no idea what happens to a package when it passes from one country to another. Does some money come with it or does the receiving country have to deliver it for free???

Chinese sellers on ebay that say item must be returned are a joke. They get free, government subsidized shipping to USA. But your cost to return an item to China? One word... Fugeddabouditt Is that why it's so easy to find free shipping on stuff from China? Yes. How easy would it be for you to offer free shipping if the gubbment paid for your shipping costs? But then, China is Communist so they can take your profits whenever they want to.
