I sent a 2 pound package to Australia and it was $2.87. Super cheap. - ERICKA  491.4 #244 5:23PM

Forgot to mention I'm from southern California. - ERICKA  491.4 #244 5:24PM

I sent something to Australia and it was almost 10 bucks. That was the cheapest option too? I know it wasn't 2 pounds either. Maybe I'm missing something. - Leesha  650.3 #163 5:26PM

Here here!! My advice: ship through the stand post office. Ups, fedex they kill me every time with there prices!! - JediTrance  71.1 #3395 5:27PM

I've sent things out of country and it was also $10! I want to know the secret.. - Evangeline  196.3 #1681 5:28PM

I sent two vinylmations to Oregon and it was 13 dollars -.- - MayBie  1864.2 #40 5:30PM

Ericka, that's almost impossible! . Are you sure it was 2 pounds and not ounces? Within the us, first class is under 13 oz, and I've sent packages that were just a few ounces over within the same state that cost more than that for the cheapest option (usually parcel post). Media mail is pretty cheap, but can only be used for things like books and DVDs. Not sure they even offer that internationally. - bluefairy  627.4 #174 5:58PM

I did ship through the regular post office. I never do fedex or ups. - Leesha  650.3 #163 6:03PM

I don't think that's right either. I sent something just to Burbank from Rancho Cucamonga less than a pound and that was almost $2. Out of country is at least $8 depending on where. Canada and Mexico is cheaper because of special rates. - JediStitch  429.7 #291 6:07PM

That's how much they charged me...it did take almost 3 weeks to get there but that's how much it was. At the P.O. They weighed it and told me that was for the cheapest option. I also had to fill out customs paperwork, and I declared 2 pounds. - ERICKA  491.4 #244 6:11PM

That's surprising, since on the USPS website, for first class to Australia, 2 pounds is about $17. Priority flat rate is more than $13. Even on the slow boat, that would be uncommonly cheap, and I'm not sure they still offer that service. I've shipped all over the world, so I'm pretty familiar with the general practices and costs. Not saying that you're not telling the truth, just maybe there could be a mistake somewhere, and I wouldn't want people to expect to pay so little and be surprised at the p.o. I do think that people should at least weigh their items so they can calculate an approximate cost before they decide whether to make a rak us only. Pins and other small items are generally not costly to mail, just be mindful of the packaging.  - bluefairy  627.4 #174 12:02AM

And everybody says Socialism is a bad thing! Go Canada! Clean streets, low crime, cheap postage and healthcare and higher alcohol beer!  - BlueberryCrusader  650.7 #161 12:06AM

On the other hand, I mail a lot of stuff to the US from Australia and recently found out that anything over a pound will now cost an extra $20 which goes to the US gov't to offset oil prices. Unimpressed. - BLG  1049.5 #82 12:10AM

Ouch. I guess that one pound will be your limit from now on, blg?  - bluefairy  627.4 #174 12:34AM
