let's do the math!
here is EMS official price list in RMB http://www.ems.com.cn/serviceguide/e-zi-fei-biao-zhun.html
| Zone | Destination of EMS | First 500g | Additional 500g | Destination of China Express | |
| Canada, U.S.A | 180 | 240 | 75 | Canada, U.S.A |
current EMS contractor rate to us, 44% off. so we pay 56% of the listing price.
current USD-RMB exchange rate 1 USD = 6.59RMB
An average package is 2kg. So 240 RMB for the first 0.5KG. 75 RMB for each additional .
240 + 75 +75 +75 =465 RMB
we pay 56% of the listing price, 465 * 56% = 260.40 RMB
convert that to USD 260.40/ 6.59 = $39.5144.
our current rate charged on fabulousaaa.com is $37 for an average 2kg package. considering i have to pay merchant account / credit card processing fee to process this payment , and all the other potential cost , I am really taking a loss here.
This is the post for everyone that has sent me or was about to send me angry emails regarding the "outrageous" shipping charges. I would change this if i have a choice, but i dont.... :((
still love you all~ lol.
