    Then is different by country. In spain they used to be sent by the national post agency, taking advantage of the subsidization of third world countries.

    But that aid ended years ago. Now packages from china have to pay full commercial price of delivery.

    Since them in spain they moved from the national post agency towards cheap delivery companies, usually with bikers.

    Idk if in Austria they are still subsidized or they pay full commercial price to the Austrian post agency. But surely there’s no european legislation that makes them not pay full price.

    And once they pay full price, commercial companies tend to be more expensive or straight up not working in small towns compared with big cities where delivery is cheaper.

      Full price at 0 EUR shipment on 1EUR order? By which magic can that cover shipment across the world, no matter how it is done?
