International-Shipping-Methods
We normally ship internationally via postal service (USPS) Airmail
Parcel Post or UPS.
We
can ship via most other freight methods or carrier's, should you
require this.
Note that
Air-shipments are charged not by weight, but by
Dimensional Weight.
You are charged primarily for the size of the box, not the actual
package weight.
Airmail Parcel Post is
generally the best choice for international shipping - having
relatively fast
delivery (4 - 10 days) and prices always lower than
UPS rates.
Additionally. there seem to be less
merchandise delayed or
stuck at customs
check-points when shipping via Airmail Parcel Post.
However, UPS shipping offers two advantages that Airmail Parcel Post
does not.
1. - UPS offers real package tracking - the ability to track your
package along its
long journey.
2. - UPS has guaranteed delivery dates. With UPS shipping - you know
the actual
delivery date
that your package will arrive by.
Both UPS and USPS have different services for faster (and more
expensive) delivery
and also
their are some slower (and cheaper)
shipping methods available.
Many countries have duties, tariffs and customs fees that are added on
when
package lands in
your country. We do not know what these duties,
tariffs or
additional fees are. You should find out
in advance what
your home country charges
and plan your purchases accordingly.
Roughly speaking, an
average $200 (US) order will weigh 13 lbs. (6 kilos)
and will contain approximately 32 pieces and have a shipping cost of
$64 US.
This averages to about $2 US per item.
Larger parcels will cost a little bit less per item for international
shipping.
