Sorry Cisco, but VKB cannot control in any way shipping price. It's not even an estimate, the whole amount is going to the courier.

I would hate that too, but you have to understand that even if some companies offer free shipping they still make profit from selling that product, either because the product is overpriced, or because they are selling high volume and get large discounts from the couriers. Neither is the case for VKB.

Shipping price is a bit high for me as well. I was going to buy 1 just now, to try out and see if it was as good as the reviews claim, but shipping being nearly 25% of the cost of the item is a turn off for me. Will have to wait for a sale to offset that shipping cost for my purchase.

I understand shipping costs are high, but you need to understand where VKB is coming from here. They’re paying to ship it from the warehouse in China. That’s a lot of $$$. To offer free shipping they’d have to ship containers full of merchandise to a US warehouse which would reduce shipping costs initially, but they would have to pay to warehouse the items, raise costs to cover domestic shipping, and everything would be subject to a 25% increase to cover the costs of tariffs.


It’s better for the consumer to charge them for direct shipping as long as the order is under $800.
