Uh that's nothing. I bought in one site that sold imported foods from USA. And they are bastards. Until you go to pay it doesn't tell you shipping price until last minute, which then you discover is kind of expensive, and add that to the products that aren't usually cheap.
But that's nothing the worse is that when there a season event, Halloween, Christmas, etc where usually people are going to buy USA exclusive stuff, like some types of candy etc.
They have a logic that plays around with the dates so the cheapest shipping says is always after that date, so after Halloween or after Christmas, etc. Unless of course you buy it like 2 months in advance. And the "express" or whatever is called the shipping option is even more expensive. Thank God I have found other alternative pages but man. .. they are bastards.
You could try the cheap option but I am pretty sure I did once and they actually hold up until the dates would match to actually send it.
Yeah when "express shipping" means "were not even gonna process your order" that's almost straight up extortion
