Hey Steve, he would be sending it via "economy parcel post" I assume that is via mail, isn't it.
I agree if it were UPS, I wouldn't touch the deal. A few years ago I bought a $12 vial of resting rotifer cysts out of the US. It was a tiny vial (1.25" h x 1/4" diameter) that could have fit in a small envelope and mailed out. By the time I finished paying the taxes and brokerage to UPS; that stupid little bottle of dust cost me about $70. So I've tried to stay clear of UPS shipping when ordering from the US.
