HAVE YOU BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM ABROAD?
IMAGINE THE COST OF SHIPPING THIS PAINTING, 90 x 128 cm ANYWHERE ABROAD
Yes, I mean anything from the smallest item to big paintings with their frames etc?
It has been some time since I bought something like a big painting and it was a major shock to hear how much it is to bring my purchase home, what formalities there were and all the hustles with the shipping/transport companies that were in place TO PUNISH MY POCKET.
A painting that cost me $500 dollars became overnight 1000 dollars plus until and when I brought it home.
LESSON,
AND PLEASE LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCES. TRANSPORT CHARGES ARE SO BIG IT IS NOT WORTH BUYING SMALL VALUES ITEMS IN ORDER TO MAKE A 25% PROFIT. HAVING SAID ALL THE ABOVE, THERE ARE STILL CHEAP WAYS AROUND BUT ONLY THE PROFESSIONALS KNOW ABOUT THEM AND USE THEM WISELY. NEXT TIME, WONT BE THAT EXPENSIVE.
