I remember mailing stuff from Canada to the US when US postage rate was $.24 and Canada was around $.45. When asked why rates were so high in Canada, our Canadian friends would tell us is was $.02 for delivery and $.43 for storage. Given that it often took 3-4 weeks, it may be true.

Ah, yes.? I ordered a kite string winder that took 3 months to arrive.? I ate a lot of lousy cereal to get it, even at 7 yrs old I wondered if it was coming "slow boat from China" (1963)

I noticed that the shipper from China on eBay listed the Delivery Estimate to be between March 31 and May 9.? Wow, that reminds me of the wait for stuff I ordered from Battle Creek, Michigan when I was a child!? Almost two months seems like a very long wait time, if it is indeed true.
