Its not just weight. As I said before an inflated balloon sent around the world would cost a fortune.

As Tyll and a lot of others said, Headroom don't make a penny on delivery. They've explained why they opt for top dollar delivery.

Would you want your $500 item arriving damaged or not at all. I ordered a torch on eBayUSA sent via USPS in November, it came at the end of March.



My MicroAmp came in 4 days.
