Check the sellers rating... 98.2% for 300+ sales is pretty good. Check out their negatives to see what went wrong...

wow! ... no wonder shipping is only $15 . I sent a package to Seattle today and it cost me $10 UPS ground.
Six weeks means it gets sent on a container ship across the Pacific. A slowwww ship too. Good price though!:D

It's not called slow boat to China for nothing. :) I used to send Christmas pkgs to my sister over there and it would take two-three months by boat. But that was her big holiday box full of weighty goodies. So the price was right. Just had to send it by early Oct.
