I'm about to order this frame with delivery to USA (Texas).. and have a quote for shipping as follows: "delivery cost is USD 151 for a pair of wheels and USD182 for a set of frame, USD 100 is the local remote delivery cost for 2 parcels"

So for the frame: shipping charge is $232.. ($182 + $50)
and for a wheelset: shipping charge is $201.. ($151 + $50)
So total shipping charge for a frame and wheelset is $433.  I had initially hoped for a reduced combined shipping fee, but the box sizing requiring two seperate shipments makes sense.

So my main question is.. has others from the US been charged the additional $50 'local remote delivery' fee for a frame (or wheelset)?
(And I do not live in a remote location.. I get UPS, Fedex, and Amazon deliveries often with 1-2 day deliveries.)

The base shipping charge seems inline with what others who have posted about their quoted costs on this forum.. but I don't remember seeing an addional 'remote' shipping fee mentioned.

(and just a note.. this quote is from November '25, so not sure if this is shipping fee is still current.  Was going to request updated quote before ordering.

It's not going to be a deal breaker, but just curious if this is a common charge when ordering from china.
Thanks in advance.
