Even though I stated UNTIED STATES BIDDERS ONLY, I stil got a bidder from England!

I went to the USPS site to calculate postage and I MUST be doing something wrong, because the rates I am coming up with are very high.

The package is merely a padded envelope with an old magazine inside. The total weight is about 12 ounces. The buyer wants airmail.

How much do you figure this will cost?

I would recommend GLOBAL PRIORITY. Double check what the PO told you .. they often get it WRONG here when it comes to that method of shipping.

I go to USPS.GOV and enter the info myself. Then you can print it out and if you have to, take it to the PO.

david2001,

It might seem like a lot but I've shipped magazines & brochures to Europe and while it's a lot more than it would cost in the U.S., it's not surprising for European delivery.
