Why? Put me in the dumb as brick category then lolcats because I have bought domestic and paid the premium for guaranteed next day delivery instead of waiting two weeks hoping my order makes it. Its a service you can chose to use or not, many people would rather pay an extra $150 to avoid the risk of customs and know their gear will land in time for the weekend, fuck it I can afford it and so can many others. For those who are happy to run the gauntlet with customs, no shows, checking drops, etc then they can charge a premium for their service, you are showing an incredible amount of nativity in your post, nobody makes you pay anything, if you had the IRL hookups you wouldn't be on SR in the first place.
