Hi,
how do you define 'too expensive'.

I gotten servos from China, about 8kg with both Fedex and DHL for $156USD and $160USD respectively. I've just paid $186NZD or only about $112USD for a 7kg parcel from Oregon , a service offered by Youshop.
Sure, its not chea, but comparing it to Fedex and DHL neither is it 'too expensive'.
