Paypal question
« on: January 29, 2014, 06:19:42 PM »
I was recently asked to provide a shipping quote from the US to Australia - but I've never shipped internationally before. USPS's online calculator gave me about $9.50 for a single MIB G4 shipped first class, but I'm not sure whether that's totally accurate or what method of shipping would be best.  :blush: Advice would be super appreciated!

edit: If I use Paypal to print an international shipping label (I can do that, right?) can I pay for shipping via Paypal?

I find the best method of shipping when I ask for purchases is standard airmail (no tracking but much quicker then surface mail) and the cost seems about accurate to me.  Normally about 2 ponies (g1's) in a bubble mailer is about that for me?  :)

Hope this helps!

Yes, you can print International labels but ONLY if it is Priority International or Priority Express International. They do not allow you to print First Class through their site. If it is Ebay or Etsy then you can but not for a per say personal transaction.

You can print a first class international shipping label via the USPS site and pay via PayPal.

Both of these are great to know, thank you so much! I wasn't sure if USPS would accept paypal.  :blush:
