I am in Hong Kong and order from Elusive disc and Music Direct - I usually buy 10-12 LPS at a time because the shipping is going to run me $90 USD
It sucks but shipping is what it is.
I like some things I see at Discogs but as you noted - if I buy a $10LP I have to spend $15 on the shipping. So I have to really want it.
When I vacation in Canada - I generally bring my LPs over 20-30 in my suitcase. But last year Covid took that out.
And second-hand LPs in Hong Kong are priced such that I'd rather just buy a new edition. I am a music listener and not an LP collector so I don't much care if it's a 1960 first edition. I want to listen to artists.
Perhaps you can sell them to a second-hand vinyl retailer. You'll get less money but you don't have all the hassles.
