There's definitely some creative postage going on lately. I ordered a few laser pointers from a seller in CA, an obvious importer since his selection and info was exactly the same as the ones listed from Hong Kong, just a buck or two more.

He sent them, I watched tracking since I was stuck on a project until I got these and it made it here right up to 'out for delivery' then was removed. I called the PO and they said that there was multiple shippings on the same label, he just changes the address to fit his needs. Pay once, ship 10 items. They were sending it back to CA for evidence against him.
