Why does shipping cost $99,999?

Shipping to your country is not available. I cannot fully remove the option to select your country, so this is the only way I can prevent checking out.

In the case of EU countries/NI: I do not currently have the resources to comply with GPSR, which requires information about product safety that I as a small business may or may not have access to, and a responsible person in the EU who will incur an additional cost to hire. This is a situation that may or may not change in the future depending on whether the regulations are amended.

In the case of the US: The de minimis exemption for shipments below $800 entering the US will be removed starting 29 August 2025. In accordance, Singpost has temporarily suspended various services to the US, including the cheapest registered mail option that I usually use to send packages. (Source) The only available option left is extremely expensive, so for now, I'm preventing orders from the US from going through while I work out the new pricing. (Note, however, that it will be very much more expensive than it used to be; I don't think that fixing the prices will make it any better.) There is no ETA on when, or even if, the old registered mail option will return, assuming that de minimis is not reinstated.
