Title: I Need Help From The USA!
Post by: mopthebunny on December 05, 2017, 09:27:30 AM
Hello,

I hope this is the right place to put this post (sorry if it isn't), but I wanted to ask if therer is anyone in the USA who could help me get some of the new Littlest Pet Shop toys. You can't get them anywhere in the UK, and there's a set I really, really want!

Here's the one: https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=135875526 (https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=135875526)

Is there anyone who could buy it for me and post it on? How much do you think the shipping would be to the UK for an item of this size?

Postage is going to be around $22.50.  It goes from $13.50 for anything under half a pound all the way up to $22.50 for up to two pounds the last time I did a check.  If I can order it online, I could maybe help.

Really? Gosh, that's a lot. Would deboxing it make the shipping cheaper, do you think?

Deboxing might help, to keep it at $13.50 (depending on whether or not the weight of the box puts it over the weight for that price; the set doesn't look like it weighs a lot), but that is the minimum cost for an international package.  Unfortunately shipping from the U.S. has gone up, and there are not as many weight increments in pricing as I think there used to be :(.

Ah, I see. That's a real bummer :/  I had no idea it was so expensive! Thanks anyway. I suppose I'll have to think this over again

I can check my toys r us next time I'm there. Canada's international shipping isn't as expensive as the US surprisingly.
