The tape itself is only the equivalent of 6 bucks. I asked why, and apparently itâs because FedEx have a large minimum shipment size and weight or something. They refused to use Japan Post, which wouldâve been like a 40th of the price.
Also paid 15 bucks in postage to get more melatonin from the states. Not that bad, relative, but the entire package, including box, is less than 100g.

When shipping costs more than the goods itself, you start to question, hmm do I need it that bad?

Nah, you just channel your inner boomer, and rant about the price of things these days and how no government has done anything right since Harold Holt was the prime minister back in 1967
