I was looking at some bits from china and some collets the shipping charge was $0.00 for shipping on one and $0.99 on the other how come if you get it from texas it's $12.00 and you get it half a world away... it's less .....Hummmmm. lol

Might be because they are a high volume shipping source and pay their workers crap for wages.

I would like to know as well. Maybe the Chinese government pays for the shipping. How to take over the world!

I had one guy the other day. He paid $12 shipping and it cost us $17 from UPS. He lived way up northwest in the middle of some national forest or something.

I'm sure most are below the $12 cost for shipping. It is a good income source for parts.

USPS flat rate box anywhere in the US 5.95 Im sure most parts and bits will fit and they have other sizes. Plus padded envelopes flat rate even cheaper would be perfect for bits.

This has been an on going complaint for a long long time .... I fully understand why folks use other vendors for bits and parts ..
