They don't subsidize anything here, so yeah, cost of shipping is really the cost to take a box from China to your house, pretty much. FWIW, when I got my PineBook Pro, DHL was literally like overnight from Hong Kong to the US. I think if you consider it part of the cost ($150 for tablet and keyboard shipped), it's still a pretty good deal.

Yeah, good point. Maybe I am just conditioned to subsidized free shipping from China.

That's going to end. The UPU agreed to let the US charge 70% of its domestic shipping cost to foreign carriers.
