I've been thinking about buying some accessories for the 4 NanoPi Neos and M1 I have bought from you before.
However, the cost of shipping seems to increase very rapidly, which is discouraging me from buying more stuff.
For example: the shipping to my home country for a single camera (total weight .23kg) is $5.
However, if I add a second camera the weight goes up by 220 grams and the shipping cost becomes $8.
Adding just a single $1 heatsink to this order increases the weight of the consignment to 0,68kg and the cost of delivery almost doubles to $15.
Surely a single heatsink does not weigh 230grams - and neither does a USB camera? I have similar heatsinks in my workshop and they weigh between 1 and 2 grams each. I know the shipping carton used for two NanoPi Neo's is large enough to hold all three components, so I fail to see where all the excess weight is coming from.
