They don't like shipping overseas because of two reasons: one, not all
the webstores have someone who can really read and speak english in the
event and order goes bad, and the most important one - EMS shipping.
Sometimes things get damaged. When you're selling a LOT of packages to
the US, this can start to eat up profit, with time wasted on damaged
item claims, etc.
