Local companies don't sting you as much for delivery. For me all the big US companies are out because they seem to use a gold plated canoe to cross the Pacific. At worst a local will be Aust Post prices.
I got hit with PC over MP Megatron but a factor there was avoiding dealing with Customs. I was happy to pay to avoid involving a third party.
I'm trying to get Pokemon cards, which weigh probably a couple grams, and shipping them from Japan or anywhere costs at least 24 in shipping alone. It's beyond ridiculous trying to get anything from overseas at the moment. The cost looks kinda good when you see it at first glance, but once you start converting and adding costs, it turns ugly, and more than likely, you'll turn right back around and quit.
