Fair enough, but DDU is a good response when someone is claiming their cost to ship across the street is insanely high.

If you set up an apples to apples comparison, I think China would end up slightly cheaper much of the time, but nowhere near the hyperbolic numbers that get thrown around. Maybe they pay $2 for something that costs $2.25 or something. It's difficult to point to specific comparable shipments where they're actually cheaper, though.
