Headphoneus Supremus
Okay, I just won a pair of old AKGs (impulse buy) on that auction site and was slapped with EUR39 for postage fee to Australia. Is this reasonable for registered shipping?

When I was living in Germany, I usually sent stuff this way unless the buyer demanded insurance. |
And this headphone weight is less than 500 gram, so that means 12.90 Euro unregistered (18,25 USD) shippingcosts wordwide should've been reasonable. |
