On March 6 I ordered a few flashlights and batteries from Tmart.com

In their listings they mention if the item will ship from the U.S. When I ordered I was

able to choose the flashlights and batteries that would ship from the U.S. I got them 6 days later! FANTASTIC. Also in the order was a zoomie flashlight and an LED dome light for my car, but they would ship from China, no problem because I wasn't too hot for them anyway. Yesterday, March 21 I got a notice of registered mail from Hong Kong. I

knew what it was, the rest of my order. Went to the Post Office to pick it up and got this

it was only the the dome light. I am not concerned about not getting the flashlight, I know I can trust them. What I can't understand is why would the send the dome light (it cost $1.08 and free shipping) Air Mail. Am I wrong or are those stamps not $13 + $3 + $.10?

Did they spend $16.10 American to air mail a $1.08 light?


Anyway, I like Tmart, they are able to ship many flashlights from the USA quickly. Last month my TR-3t6 also came in 5 days

Whoa. It's from which industrial center?

On what street?

Wow. Best address I've seen in a while.

What JAS said. Easy (but not so precise) way of converting HKD to USD is simply dividing by 8, HK$16.1 is approx. US$2.

Those areas were 100% for factories during 70s' & now 90% of the factories had moved into China. They are using as offices & warehouses now!

Converts to $2.07 US. Still a lot for a $1.08 order.

China sells us pool noodles, plastic hangers and cheap flashlights. We sell them 747s, Semi-conductors and luxury cars. That’s why we are still the top manufacturing nation on earth. We can’t make cheap labor intensive goods and we don’t want to either.
