INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING any ideas

[wolfrb]

Any idea how much it costs to ship a brush from the US to the UK?
Surely the quotes I saw are my error. >$50 seriously?

That can't be right. I had many things shipped to Korea weighing more than a brush for far less.

I went to the post office the other morning to mail out a few packages, and looked at the Priority Mail Rates, I never paid any attention to international postage before.

Small Flat Rate Box (about the size of a VHS tape)
USA - $5.80
Canada - $19.95
All other countries - $23.95

No it is less than that, for up to 250g a packet can be sent US->UK for $14.90, and for up to 500g it is $18.60

I can tell you that shipping rates from the US have gotten very ridiculous in the last couple years. It's gotten to the point where I can order things from basically ANYWHERE else in the world and pay less for shipping than if I order from the US.

Latest example: Just ordered a CD, and the shipping from the US would have been $12, whereas the shipping from New Zealand was $9.

I mailed a brush to Germany not too long ago. As I recall it was only around $10 via First Class.

you want first class package rates. you need to keep 1st class under 4 pounds but that's the cheapest way. still insane compared to what the rest of the world charges to ship to us but it is what it is. fedex & ups are WAY more expensive.

google: usps notice 123

that is their price list, which was just updated in the last couple weeks.

at the end of the intl section is the country grouping lists. find out which group the UK is in and then go back few pages to the 1st class package (retail) chart and lookup the weight in ounces to find the price.

Shipping something isn't expensive. You want to prove it arrived to meet paypals selling rules? That's a whole different story
