International mailing of a Collector's Package There are two options for mailing the package. All of these options are air mail service. The package weighs almost exactly 4 pounds. 1. Priority Mail International (4-6 days) as a single package ("variable rate"). This is the most expensive shipping option, but is the fastest and uses the most durable package (a rigid cardboard box). I will enclose your entire package into one box (click for image). This is the option that I recommend. Estimated cost for a 4 pound package to the U.K. is $0.85 for the box and $33.75 postage. 2. Priority Mail International (4-6 days) as two flat rate envelopes. This is the least expensive shipping option, but it uses the least durable package. I enclose most of the package into one flat rate envelope and the remainder into another flat rate envelope (click for image). Important: the bumper sticker does not fit in the envelope without folding over one end of the backing. If you are going to apply your sticker to your car or another surface, this will not be a problem (the sticker itself doesn't get folded), but if you want to keep it intact, do not choose this option. International mailing of a Mid-range or Value Packages: Value packages will be sent in a Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope and cost $11.00 to mail, regardless of the destination. The total including the paypal fee is exactly $22.17. The mailing information for the mid-range package will be added later.
Estimated international mailing cost to other countries: Norway, Belgium - same as the U.K.
Calculating the exact cost I will calculate the exact cost for you and email the total to you along with the email address to pay. If you want any mailing options (recorded delivery, insurance, etc.), the package cannot be sent by Global Priority Mail and must be Express Mail or Air Parcel Post which is more expensive. If you want this, I can provide you with a quote.
First, go to the "calculate postage" option at www.usps.com and select your destination country. Enter a package weight of 4 pounds 0 ounces From the explanation above and the results, compare your mailing options and choose one. If you wish to add any extra services, use the option at the bottom of that page. If using a cardboard box, add $0.85 for the box. Add the $50 cost for the Collector's package, the cost of any upgrade options you are purchasing with your package, the box cost if applicable, and the actual postage cost. Add the cost of any delivery options such as insurance or recorded delivery. This is your subtotal. Then, calculate the total due by adding the paypal fee (3.9% plus $0.30). Use this formula to calculate your total amount due: total amount due = (subtotal + 0.30) / 0.961 For example, the totals for a $50 Collector's package sent
in a cardboard box single package by Global Priority Mail including the
paypal fee is as follows: The total for a Value package in a GPM envelope including the paypal fee is exactly $22.17 anywhere in the world.
