See, this is why I initially refused to send to Europe. Just got back from the UPS store and those fuckers said it would be $150 to send UPS w/ tracking. So I said fck that, what's the cheapest? And they said $64 via USPS Priority Mail w/ no tracking. So I did that. Never sending to Europe again, this is bulls**t. I asked them why so high and they said they only mark it up 10% from what going to the post office would charge. Fck it.
It was the short sleeve 16 (heavy chambray) shirt. I weighed my shirt and a padded envelope, went to the USPS online calculator, and got a figure of 14.95 $. Which seemed entirely correct for FIRST CLASS INT'L MAIL. I told the seller to ship through this service and only this service.
Now the people at the UPS store just BLATANTLY ripped him off, cause even Priority Airmail would only be about 30-35 $… And the package was well within the weight limit and dimensionsal restrictions of First Class.
- Priority Airmail isn't tracked?.. I ran the number through the USPS site:

Processed through USPS Sort Facility February 06, 2012, 11:32 pm KENT, WA 98032- 62 $ to ship?..
Hey - just a random rant I guess…....

In a minute.
I asked the seller for a copy of the receipt. As the tracking # will be on that as well, they will have a hard time explaining why it says 65 $ on the receipt, and 38.85 on the tag and custom form… Let's hope I can annoy the USPS enough for someone to call up the UPS store in question and tell them to quit ripping people off...
Oh no: I'm not done here...

White's. I think this really just comes down to price.
I like the Viberg's about 10% more but the price difference for VERY similar quality shoes is quite high. The amount you could save would be more than enough to resole them in a year.

To Seul, the UPS Store or any other mailing store such as that adds a surcharge or USPS services. If they didn't, they would lose money, as they get no discount from the USPS for offering said services. I send people there all the time for UPS services and at the bottom of all of their receipts, it states that postal services are subject to a surcharge. It's pretty much understood that anywhere other than the Post office will charge more for that service. Same as anywhere you go other than UPS, you will pay more. At least thats the way it is here in the US
