People that order from china please help me!

I’m looking to get some eye lash samples and they are trying to say it’s a “free” sample but “freight” cost $25 usd. There is no way that something light as a feather cost them that much to ship out of china. Can anyone confirm the normal shipping costs there?

In another world
You find the same "deals" on eBay.
Sometimes the shipping is more expensive than the product itself.

It is not really free. Isn't that obvious? Shipping doesn't cost that much.

Sellers do this to pocket the actual cost of products and generate a profit.

You're looking this wrong. Do you think the free samples are worth $25?

If no, then it doesn't matter how much shipping actually costs because it's still going to cost you $25.

If yes, then it doesn't matter how much shipping actually costs because it's still going to cost you $25.

But if you care that much, I wouldn't be surprised that there is a shipping option from China to Canada that costs $25, but the question is if they will use that shipping option or if they will use the "slow boat to hell" option and pocket the change.

the problem with these free samples is the sellers only want to ship them via dhl/fedex/ups they refuse to send them by the cheap air mail options.

Speaking specifically about lashes or any other single item, there'd be nothing stopping a consumer ordering "samples" instead of "retail" items pretending they're going to resell them at a later date.
If I was actually a reseller, $25 vs the the cost of a pallet of whatever is peanuts.
Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.
