I went onto the the FedEx.ca site to do a test. A 2kg package from Victoria BC to Shanghai China with dimensions 20cm X 20cm X 10 cm would cost me over $300 to ship.
Maybe the DRO is smaller and lighter but $115US is reasonable nowadays.

When my 3D printer came from Hong Kong via FedEx I weighed the box and measured it. Then checked with FedEx for shipping to Hong Kong.
It was more than I paid for the

China doesn’t ship a sea container until it’s absolutely full. Then they wait for a deal on the ship to send it over. doesn’t matter if they have to wait an extra few weeks. That’s why it’s cheap.

That may be true for the postal side of things but my 3D printer came from Hong Kong in two days. My Bergerda AC servo motors and the stepper drivers all took only two days with the standard FedEx tracking numbers.

Thanks John - I'm going to offer to buy at a bit lower than their last offer & leave it to them if they reduce shipping or DRO cost - let the games begin!!
Hope they are hungry for sales at the end or the 3rd quarter.
