is this true or was the guy full of ****? triple the price can't be true
Triple the price probably is BS. Unless is was a super ultra mega large bottle of perfume. I assume it was just a small one. Shipping costs are calculated based on size, weight, and distance, and how fast you want it there. The size was obviously the same. The distance too. I assume the package was fairly light? So the perfume should have only added a few bucks at most.
The guy was correct
it falls into dangerous items
".Your first step is to identify whether your shipment contains dangerous goods. Many items fall into this category, such as airbags, ammunition, butane, car batteries, fireworks, lighters, matches, paint and perfume."
it then incurs special handling fees
Not sure, but if someone told me that I wouldn't doubt it. There are restrictions on liquids.
excellent answer from "Merlin"
