No its not that. The seller usually has a big hate for the hidden fees that accrue once he makes it to the post office or FedEx or UPS or whatever. Hell, I shipped parts to Oz and Argentina and its not that difficult, both went USPS with no hidden fees...but try doing Canada with a FedEx account. I got hit with "brokerage fees" a month after I sent an ignition box to Canada, and the fees were 50% of the value of the part! Live and learn....Stuff like that leaves a bad taste...
