I have looked at some small items on Ebay which were listed for $1.00, with Free Shipping from China (Not Gun Related). To buy these items here in the States would cost me about $10.00 plus tax.

I have been leery about ordering them, it just seems at that price there must be some Catch involved that I am missing. I mean How can anything be shipped for $1.00 & that includes the item purchased.
These pads are bigger, so that would seem to make shipping a good bit higher.
I mean they are selling the item & shipping it for in some cases less than shipping in the US, Even if it just goes 10 miles down the road.

In my case if I send something to someone 10 miles away by USPS it will go about 75 miles to the sorting facility & then be shipped the same 75 miles back to the receiver. Somehow they figure this is cheaper than the way they used to do it & sort it at the home post office & put local mail on the local route.

As far as Shame, I see no difference in buying a product made in China than ordering it direct, I just have not yet opted to do so.
