Re: Shipping is not free

More likely the shipping is being subsidised by the Chinese government, and by a poorly negotiated reciprocal agreement between Australia Post and the Chinese. I can buy a 50c item on AliExpress that would cost $2 here, and still get free shipping. It probably costs Australia Post more than 50c to deliver it to my door.

You have to worry - a lot - when our "leaders" like Joe Hockey are too uninformed and too stupid to join the right dots together.
