International Shipping?
Megatron:
Hey guys,
So I have never shipped anything internationally before, and am negotiating a trade with another TCP member in Italy ( I am California, US). Every shipping option I see is super expensive, like over $75. DOes anyone know of a cheaper option or some way to lower the cost?
Thanks!
wiggy:
It's pricey. It sucks.
You can ship int'l 1st class and it will be a lot cheaper, but packages take forced and aren't very tracks or (if at all). I would highly recommend against it if possible.

Cost me around $85 to mail a box weight in about 11 or 12 lbs to the UK. It had a laptop and a coffee cup and a few other goodies. This was back in Aug or Sep

When I shipped a package to Sheep a few months back, I got 4 quotes. The box was about the size of a shoe box and weighed 4 pounds.
UPS - $190
Fed Ex - $160
DHL - $150
USPS - $35
You get ONE guess as to which one I used.
It might sound silly, but I never knew before that USPS could ship international. I almost didn't even get a quote there. :P

and it arrived safe and sound - relatively quick too.
