Why are the shipping charges so expensive? My order was worth around $70, and the shipping charges were $37.00. Isn't that a little ridiculous?

I spent over 400 dollars on my first order. The clothes looks cheap to buy to draw people like you and I, however they make up their profit by charging extortionate shipping charges. I used to sell on eBay, if you sell an itemFor 99pence and charge 5 pounds for ddelivery you would have made your profit. Some companies have contracts with delivery company to charge for example 2pounds per item as long as you send out a minimum of 50 items per week. In Sammy dress case, they would have sent thousands and probably paid 10 pence to deliver your clothes hence making serious profit on delivery charges.
Another con is by charging people in dollars and not Chinese currency which means the dollar is probably stronger than their currency so they can charge you more for the clothes it's a win win and con for them. They have not refunded me for out of stock items it's been 2 months now. Their customer service can never match the west. You do not negotiate with customers and ask them to pay for items to be returned to China when the clothes are faulty. We are not the idiots packing the clothes and should not be penalised for their incompetency.

Add the delivery to your price of cloths divided it to how any cloths you have. Then you see how much your paying for each item still works out cheap

Well When I Order I Place Large Orders & Because I've Shopped So Frequently I Always Have Points Or Coupons That Cover A Portion Of My Order. So For Me It's Worth It In The End.

It's an international shipping. Yes it's ridiculous. But if u but the same amount of items here in the US, the price might be even more expensive n u'll be charged on tax.
