So I bought another headphone, not huge surprise I know, and usually I read the listing terms and such quite carefully on eBay. However, this transaction for some NOS KSC-K35's and its shipping charge for an auction that I recently took down seems a bit high.

Item is to be dispatched from limerick, Ireland and shipping to Arizona, U.S.
However, here is the message from seller.
Unfortunately this item is classified as a parcel and not a packet so shipping to the USA would be €21.00 ($30.00)

This seems really high, can someone recommend a freight service that is both reasonable and adequate for this to be posted to the States please? Or is this about right?

Thanks for reading

It sounds about right depending on how they package it. I think I could get ksc-35s sent for half that, but it's probably that they have this blanket shipping charge the covers most items.

well , that is pretty expensive for such a small and light headphones. the ksc75 wordlwide shipping cost is around 10$ from america . and i've seen ebay sellers sell the Goldring Dr150 from the UK at 20-30$ shipping (and those are full size headphones) .

there's the seller , from Ireland as well , shipping at 10 to 15 euro .
see maybe if there isn't a cheaper ,slower shipping option available for the seller

Depends on the speed. It seems about right for a 2-3 day delivery but if you are not in a hurry you can get it cheaper.
