Just Placed My First Order Too, But Not A Happy Camper....

Thanks guys,

Tracking over here with the USPS is 50 cents. Not sure the insurance on four pewter kilt pins...or why insurance.

Grumble grumble grumble. Understand some of the hassle and frustration from you guys that order kilts from overseas.

Ron, I'm not attempting to defend the rates quoted, but one cannot simply compare European prices with American prices.
I have seen this done often enough among my family and friends in the US, and it just doesn't make sense making a direct comparison of the price of individual goods or services.

A couple of examples: 1) it costs 5 times as much per minute to make a phone call from the US to Norway than vice versa, and 2) petrol is currently $7.65 per US gallon at my local gas station.

Speaking of petrol prices, the average American family drives 4 times as many miles per year a the average Norwegian family, so the yearly petrol bills aren't that different...

As with all trade, it is the grand total that helps decide where to trade.

I wish I had as many kilts that I could be ordering a batch of kilt pins - enjoy
