Shipping slabs to Australia.

[Old Fashion PB and J]

Anyone know options, and pricing for shiping a CGC book to Australia. Can it be insured, etc? What does it usually cost.

Priority & Express can be insured, First Class can't.

Ask mikenyc - he sent one to me for $16.

Must have used first class, which is OK for under 4 pounds. I will use this method if the buyer takes full responsiblity for the package including loss and damage. Buyers almost never agree to that. Shocking.

No, postage label said $16

 

For bigger weights use this:

20lb - $60 - 6 days.

 

Just have to look around.

It's exactly the same in Australia - the postal service make it as hard as possible to find what you want.

Example - got a comic down to 250 - 500g range - but couldn't go in that class as envelope was too wide.

They gave me the envelope!!

Had to cut it down and tape sides - voila - $6.20 to USA, bagged and boarded with 2 protective cardboard pieces.

I find the smaller Post Offices are so much more helpful.

 

Hope that helps.
