shipping very expensive

[Flyin_bbb8]

hey everyone i live in Qatar, and just to see how much the shipping would be
for the 900 MHz i just tried to check out the 850 version and shipping to
Doha - Qatar ( where i stay ) with UPS worldwide expedited is 97.59 USD, and
UPS saver 101.23 USD, that's just unacceptable and very expensive..... why
so? and why do we not have other choices like FedEx or DHL or even others...
why are we restricted on using just UPS, we should have more options... i
have done other purchases from other websites and normally the shipping
would be between 20 USD to 40 USD as a maximum... but not 97 USD
