Shipping and costs for supplies

I was looking over my collection and it struck me that my need for bags and boards increases almost exponentially every month (I know, I should buy less comics!). But bags and boards are apparently worth their weight in gold. Do they really cost that much to ship across the Atlantic? Do anyone here know how much space a couple of thousand bags and boards would take up, are we talking package or pallet shipping here?

 

Let me give you a calculation as an example of what we nutty European collectors have to put up with (with examples from what I need):

From E Gerbers website:

1000 Mylites 2 Current: 155$

1000 Mylites 2 Standard: 160$

1000 Full backs Current: 135$

1000 Full backs Standard:140$

From Archonia (only decent shop in europe carrying E Gerber products that I've found):

1000 Mylites 2 Current: 355 Euro (about 390$)

1000 Mylites 2 Standard: N/A, probably in the same range as the Currents.

1000 Full backs Current: 280 Euro (about 308$)

1000 Full backs Standard: 298,8 Euro (about 328$)
 

This however excludes shipping. E Gerber doesn't ship outside the US (I asked them via mail).

A box of 500 Full Backs comes in a 16" x 13" x 11" box and a U.S pallet is 40" x 48".

So I'll leave that final calculation to you.
