So I've an interested buyer for a good chunk of my Dark Elves that I'm selling. Only thing is that he's in the UK. Anyone ever ship that way and can give me a rough idea what to charge for shipping? USPS shipping calculator always seems to give me crazy high shipping rates.

 

Thanks!

USPS shipping calculator is correct. That's what you should charge him. Pack it, weigh it out and then give him the price that it gives you.

 

Unfortunately, shipping to non-US destinations is crazy high nowadays. I don't even bother with anyone except Canada and most Canadians give up when they see my shipping quote.

I send large parcels back now and then but it's so expensive I normally try and bring it in my carry on as it's cheaper! :) it's too expensive and you would wanna use tracking as well. :)

Yep. International shipping is just ridiculous these days. I'm not aware of any private carrier that's substantially cheaper, either. Unless things have radically changed in the last year and a half, FedEx, UPS, and DHL are all in the same ballpark, price-wise.

If you have a printer, you can save by printing your postage online. Generally flat rate is good only for really heavy stuff. Unless you're shipping a lot of metal, it won't be worth it.

 

Example USPS price for 5 lbs to England:

Normal Priority - $59.30 retail, $53.42 online

Large Flat Rate - $80.50 or $76.50 online

Med Flat Rate - $61.75 or $58.65 online
