Are these shipping fees becoming outrageously high?

I’m baffled by the steep costs for shipping a package that weighs about 12kg at most. In the past, when services like Pandabuy were available, shipping was roughly half of what it is now. With Superbuy, however, the fees have jumped significantly. Even though I own New Balance sneakers from a well-known brand, a sudden increase of around $100 in shipping charges seems excessive. Is anyone else feeling confused by these escalating prices?

Wow, this thread has me thinking too! I’ve been noticing that shipping fees have seemed to be creeping up over the past year or so. I can’t help but wonder if it’s related to global supply issues or maybe even new policies from shipping providers themselves. I’ve seen cases where additional costs sneak in under the guise of new service features or stricter regulations, but I’m really not sure if that’s the case here. Have any of you dug into what these fees might be covering now compared to before? I’m genuinely curious if this is just a temporary bump or if there’s a more permanent change in how these costs are determined. What has been your personal experience – is it just on specific routes or across the board? Let’s share some thoughts and maybe figure out what’s really driving this increase.

Shipping costs have certainly taken a sharp turn. From my experience, it feels like companies are now incorporating additional charges that weren’t as visible before, possibly due to enhanced logistics safety protocols or increased fuel costs. These fees might be reflecting an industry-wide shift in how carriers manage rising operational expenses. I once encountered similar increases when a carrier updated its pricing model, and despite the frustration, it turned out to be a temporary adjustment. However, without device-specific insights, it’s hard to say if this trend is going to stabilize anytime soon.
