Not like there is a good way of measuring transportation and shipping fees if you arent an insider that knows how much it actually costs.
I usually expect to pay between 15-20€ if I buy <2-3kg items from the US/CA and some for stuff like JP and CN
Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means.

It could, theoretically, be like this on purpose, not only due to things like cargo space on specific planes, but also because this sort of pricing can have a psychological effect.
People don’t really know what shipping is supposed to cost, so the way they decide whether a price is good is by comparing it to other prices.
90 seems like a lot, but if it’s cheaper than the “economy” rate, people might be more inclined to purchase it and feel like they got a good deal.

I agree. And the cost itself is outrageous for all of their prices. I’m literally sending two pieces of paper. Thin paper. Not even normal A4 weight. The cost in fuel would be negligible.

In the olden days we would use a fax machine for that.

Not if you need a document with an original signature or official stamp etc.
