Cheapest way to get a package from the US to EU, AUS etc? - datguy.dev - Jul 6, 2019
Greetings,
Anybody care to share any tricks or loopholes for saving on shipping costs from the US to other countries. China's ePacket is fantastic. I haven't found anything similar for other countries. USPS want me to pay $80 for a simple box weighing 1 lb. If you have any advice I'd greatly appreciate it. Hell, maybe use ePacket then ship it again from there? :D

not really to be fair take into the cost you have to pay Import fee's etc so usually its split Half delivery fee/Import & customs fee's.
then also gose by the Size and weight of the item the more room it takes up on the Plane the higher the cost.
I order car parts from all around the world some parts for the US ill pay over $100 in shipping and fee's.

Normally it is pretty expensive. Whenever I get junk from aliexpress sent to my house they charge a lot for shipping from asia.

Go ask a fucking post office. Logistics depends on so many factors that you need to weigh in. No pun intended. But seriously, what did you expect out of this thread?
China's logistics system is cheap for many reasons including subsidy, method of transport and cost of labor. In the first world we don't really have these luxuries.
My only advice to you is to shop around.

put the value under $80 mark the item as a gift or documents.

International Customs won't appreciate that.

Haters gonna hate,
I know someone who once sent his laptop as broken electronics when he sent his laptop from us to uk when he checked the tracking it said Item had been Inspected and revalued when his laptop arrived it came snapped, I think customs can sometimes be cunts.

If you were in control of protecting your country from suspicious imports I'm sure you'd have a different opinion on this.
You should always label correctly, pay the right tariffs if applicable and be upfront. Otherwise you're just asking to get caught in some bullshit.

Although it is something I cannot do personally. Your suggestion was the only viable one posted to save money with overseas shipping. 👍

What do you buy off AliExpress? I've been looking to get into trying to wholesale and I've been looking at Alibaba alot recently.
