I'm seeing $5.80 inside the US, what are you seeing?

I've seen the shipping cost scam many times, it's perfect when the buyer is too eager to actually read the details.

I see 110 dollars, which would be enough to rent a plane to bring it :-)

Also see that Sweden is under 30 (I can almost walk to Sweden from here), while Norway is 110. Also Thailand is cheaper ... Isn't that further away than Norway for you?

Vidar, I think this is legitimate.

For UK (or France which I took as another example) the charge is only $20s by USPS Priority, which is that the exact cost (not to count he would pay for Paypal fee and Ebay fee for shipping).

It is indeed to Norway $110 but that is using UPS Worldwide Saver. I have tried to randomly change the country and the charge is vary. So I think the seller has linked the shipping calculator to the UPS website. Again this will be the exact cost.

Still weird that Sweden, who could throw the package over to me, is so much cheaper. I think someone hates Norwegians :-)

Wow, even worse ... They hate Belgians too then?

I feel this is weird, as the distance to send to Sweden or Norway is just about the same

165,27 $ is definitly overpriced.
