Default What a t shirt shocker

Back in 2005-2005 I was deployed to Qatar. Well I thought it would be neat to have a shirt from Doha HD there. Was able to contact them via email and they showed me picks of 2 nice shirts. I was interested in both and asked them to give me a price including shipping. WOW. 202 dollars for two shirts. Well I guess I won't be getting shirts from Doha. (

How much was the shirt and how much was shipping? I have bought shirts in many different countries, and they were never that expensive.

The riyal amount was 742 I think. The 202 was for US dollars. He didn't break it down as for shipping but it couldn't have. Been more than 20-25 bucks.

I'm getting a HD ladies vest for a friend in Florida, including the exchange rate UK to US and no shipping (I am bringing it over with me) the cost works out at $65 !

HD stuff just gets dearer and dearer the further you travel from the motherland !

you would think it would be cheaper because its closer to where its originally made.
