Shipping question about arrows from Belgium?

MAKE SURE YOU GET FEDEX FEES BEFORE YOU SHIP SOMETHING USING THEM THEIR PRICES ARE VERY HIGH. I HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. I WON TWO ITEMS FROM AN AUCTION IN AUSTRALIA I GOT THEM AT A GOOD PRICE AND CONTACTED THE AUCTION COMPANY THEY SAID THEY DID NOT MAKE SHIPPING ARANGEMENTS SO I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE MY OWN AND SHOULD HAVE READ ALL 200 PAGES OF THEIR SMALL PRINT LEGALEIZE.
I ASKED FOR SUGGESTIONS THEY SAID THEY WOULD PACK MY ITEMS FOR $36.00 PER BOX AND I COULD GET A FEDEX ACCOUNT AND THEY WOULD PICK IT UP FROM THEIR AUCTION HOUSE. I ASKED THEM TO PUT BOTH ITEMS IN ONE BOX THEY DID NOT AND CHARGED ME $72.00 . FEDEX SIGNED ME UP WITH AN ACCOUNT # AND SENT ME A LOT OF SHIPPING FORMS ECT AND GOT THE INFO AND WENT AND PICKED UP THE 2 PACKAGES AND DELIVERED THEM. I COULD FIND NO SHIPPING CHARGES ON MY INVOICE BUT AS THEY HAD MY CREDIT CARD INFO TO OPEN THE ACCOUNT IT SHOWED UP ON MY NEXT STATEMENT. IT WAS CLOSE TO $400.00 AND WHEN YOU ADDED THE $72.00 I PAYED WAY TOO MUCH FOR MY ITEMS. I HAD CONSIDERED THEM A BARGAIN EVEN WITH THE 20% BUYERS FEE FROM THE AUCTION HOUSE.
I DON'T LIKE TO READ AND DON'T UNDERSTAND LEAGLIZE SO READING 200 PAGES OF IT AND PROBABLY STILL GETTING HAD I NOW AVOID ONLINE AUCTIONS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IF A DEAL SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT USUALLY IS.
NOT ALL AUCTIONS ARE LIKE THAT BUT IF ONE FOR INSTANCE STARTS CHARGEING A BUYERS FEE OR RAISES THEIRS FROM 20% T0 25% IT DOSEN'T TAKE LONG FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW SUIT. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER AUCTIONS THAT HAVE ADOPTED THE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING ARANGEMENTS IN SMALL PRINT SO BEWARE.
THERE IS NOT MUCH PLEASURE IN HANDELING AN ITEM IN YOUR COLLECTION IF YOU HAVE BEEN HAD

IT JUST REMINDS YOU OF THE DIRTY DEALINGS.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW AND EVERYONE DOES IT DOSEN'T MAKE IT RIGHT.
