And you are?
Let me do the math for you. I'll even number it for you.
1) As described on the website, housing cases and heat sinks are made in China.
2) Housing cases and heat sinks are sent to the USA via ocean freight at a cost per $2.75 per 1 housing case and 1 heat sink set.
3) Assembly is done in the USA
4) Finished products are shipped to 2 places, Niles, Michigan at a cost of $8 per finished unit via FedEx. The other is back to China at a cost of $4.50 per finished unit via ocean freight.
5) It costs on average to ship a lamp to anywhere USA based, about $22.50usd per finished 1 lamp.
6) It costs on average to ship a light to the UK or Australia from the USA, about $105usd per 1 lamp.
7) It costs on average to ship a lamp from China to Australia or the UK about $75usd per lamp.
8 ) Parts from China to USA = $2.75 + back to China as finished lamp $4.50 + shipping to AU or UK $75 from China = $82.25USD
9) Total cost to ship to AU or UK from the USA: Parts from China to USA $2.75 + Niles, Michigan at a cost of $8 per finished unit via FedEx +$105 shipping from the USA to AU or UK $105, total $115.75, vs. $82.25 from China $33.50USD cheaper overall.
Do any of you as customers want to pay an extra $33.50 for anything, if you don't have to, especially if you're getting the same exact thing anyways, in pretty much the same amount of time??
Anything else?
