I had an identical filter experience with them and will never purchase from that firm again. That said, the HST filter is working okay as far as I know.

Nice to have a forum like this to protect the consumer against unscrupulous dealers. Let all be warned about Tractorjoe.

I ordered a replacement microphone cable for a Yaesu 2way radio off of e-bay that came from China.. Yes China, and the shipping was less than $5. So how does that work?

Government of China made China Post (mail) ridiculously cheap for exporters. Then after postage is paid there, US Mail delivers on this end without additional charge.

This works pretty well for them. It keeps down the cost of Chinese goods delivered overseas.

There is an additional charge -- under the current international postal treaties, countries that exchange more than 150 tons of mail charge "terminal dues" based on the difference in mail volumes sent and received.

The U.S. has been losing money on this since 2010, and probably won't return to black for a few more years because the time it takes to adjust the terminal dues.

Trying to work around the universal treaty rates to reduce our costs, the USPS has "ePacket" rates that are co-branded with China Post; if I understand them correctly China Post sorts and bundles the ePackets to ship directly to the US distribution center they need to go, instead of it arriving here and the USPS having to sort it and re-ship it.
