Hi
Is your postal service in the states very expensive? I have been looking for a front belt pulley cover and there are some on Ebay from the U.S.A but shipping is very costley for example there were 2 of the crome covers for the swinging arm bolts and shipping was £21 stirling over $30 US is thsi normal or are the rates being inflated

For those 2 little caps I would've gone flat rate box for $14, but no tracking available, insurance included.
For $30 you can send any size box with tracking but insurance is extra. So you got that free.
If you went, no insurance, no tracking, delivery whenever, it's $6.

So, it's up to you and how well do you trust the seller to actually put it in the mail.

Unfortunately, international shipping from USPS require a trip to the post office. My guess is that the sellers are adding the time it takes for that errand to the shipping price. Myself, I usually ship actual cost. Some other sellers make money from shipping; see $1.00 foam ear plugs with $9.00 shipping. Less final value fee to pay Ebay.

Go to http://ircalc.usps.gov/and calculate shipping, so you can get an idea of actual cost.
