#42> Historically, our merchants in China have benefitted from lower shipping costs due to the Universal Postal Union Treaty (“UPU”). Certain expected changes to UPU postal rates that went into effect in July 2020 are likely to increase the shipping rates our merchants incur to ship products from China. The actions we have taken in our logistics program to mitigate these increased costs may not be successful over the lo…
>Thanks to the UPU, Before July it was cheaper to mail a package to Chicago from Shanghai than to shop to Chicago from Dallas. Do you have a source on this? Most claims of this nature that I've seen fall apart on investigation - usually they compare a bulk wholesale rate for slow international shipping to a retail rate for priority domestic shipping to get this result. I'd like to see an apples to apples comparison t…
I was a wish customer for hobby shopping (was :)) , and noticed the inflated shipping price change around start of the year (feb-mar 2020)(previously $1 shipping --> $3 shipping) and that was one of the reasons for me to leave that platform..

The reverse is true. Shanghai to Chicago is cheaper than Chicago to Dallas. Trump said he was going to get rid of the subsidies but he never did.
I'll ask again for a source. It should at minimum lay out the size and weight of the package, so I can verify the actual cost.

Perfect match for the US. :)
But I'm all seriousness, everything I've seen on wish in the last has been cheap, low-quality garbage.

International shipping prices went up across the board around then because of the face mask rush.

#46I use wish for buying gadgets with dead beat prices, with full awareness that a) it wont last b) its just a cheap hobby.. c) never buy a product which looks sketchy as hell ( ex : a $50 quad cam, full hd , 120 hz display mobile)
Some of the products that i bought like a tap faucet filter exceeded my expectations while anything that is electronics had a life span of 2 weeks to 4 months (depending upon usage)..
Its a place for cheap products, and the local fivebelow or dollar tree can easily beat them in retail , may be they are trying to do a fivebelow or dollar tree online, which is what their niche is

Go do your own research. Look up the agreement. Usps last mile is free.
1 ounce. 4x4x2 envelope
It takes 30 seconds to find something on aliexpress.
I'm not going to spoon feed you

a lot of those IPOs are Investors and Founders cashing out before everything goes boom.
