Why is Shooter Combat Gear's shipping prices so ridiculous ?

They're a Hong Kong based site.

Their prices are pretty standard, and in some cases not too bad at all. I put this together on another board after somebody was raving about how he would have to pay $60 in shipping for some pouches even though he hadn't actually calculated the actual shipping cost. It applies here as well:

Please be careful with any purchase you make with shooter combat gear. I placed an order with them in April of 2013 and it was a disaster. Items I paid for were not in stock. I paid the shipping of $49.50 and they contacted me to say the shipping was more. They asked for another $49.50 which just happened to be the exact amount of the refund for the items that were out of stock. I really wanted certain items and it still seemed cheaper than other options so I agreed, paid, and got my shipping confirmation.
Shortly after I got an email from shooter combat gear and it said they made a mistake and sent only one of my two parcels and I would have to pay shipping to get the remainder of my order. They wanted another 49.50 and I told them it is their mistake that they can not calculate the correct shipping to begin with and I was upset by that and items not being in stock. If they wouldn't make it up to me by covering the shipping than I wanted my money back.
I spent $419.00 on 15 items and paid $99.00 in total shipping. They did not want to foot another 49.50 for their mistake after I dropped all that money. I said forget it and refund the remainder of my order. I got $218.00 refunded to me after 3 weeks of constant emails asking "where is my refund?"
Also they forgot to include an $8.00 item in my refund which took another 2 weeks and 7 emails to get back in my bank account.
So although shooter combat gear looks less expensive, just a caution of buyer beware!!!
Edit: One of my items was a rather large hardshell rifle case. It is a very nice replica (half way worth the hassle) of Pelican Style rifle cases and this may account for the high shipping cost of my purchase. But still,it is my opinion to be weary of shooter combat gear.
