It's like going to McDonald and asking for a $8 Happy Meal, but then you get an $4 additional "handling fee" plus $3 "whatever tax". Happy Deal.
Not quite - try purchasing a happy meal from another country and try to get it posted back to you!
With typical Chinese vendors on the likes of Ebay you can get free/dirt cheap postage that takes a month to arrive and *might* get stung by customs - if so then your postal service may charge VAT and their handling fee for processing. Many vendors cheat and devalue the package marking to $5-$10 to try to sneak past customs.
Or you pay for guaranteed DHL 3-day delivery for $40 but if your country demands Import/VAT then that will be extra plus handling fee for the VAT/Import processing.
Somehow USA dodges the VAT/Import fees
