New, Much Higher Shipping Costs from USA to Other Countries

Post by Pauldog »

Since I don't get many overseas orders, I didn't realize what had happened until I tried to ship a razor to a buyer in Russia. The US Postal Service jacked up the foreign shipping rates quite a bit.

The minimum shipping cost for almost everywhere outside the USA (1-2 oz.) is now $6.55. A 3-oz package ships for $9.45. For some weird reason, it's a little cheaper than that to ship to parts of Asia and Africa. (So it's cheaper for me to ship to Cameroon or Turkmenistan than to England or Japan, but by an insignificant amount.)

Here's the online postal calculator, so you can work out the shipping costs if you're curious. If you're overseas and your American seller hasn't raised shipping costs yet, you might want to make your order now.
