Title: Shipping blind bags - US to UK prices?
Post by: Sora on May 11, 2014, 10:35:26 AM

Just wondering, what is the cheapest shipping option from the US to the UK for about 4 blind bags right now?

I have someone who hasn't shipped many items outside the US, and the cheapest way they can find is $10 - Is there a cheaper option?

$10 sounds about right for USPS First Class International, which is the cheapest shipping option for overseas packages. Our international rates went up quite a bit back in January so even small, lightweight packages to Europe run between $10-13 :(

Yeah, I just did a trade for blind bags in the UK, and was shocked to find out three blind bags cost $9.45 to ship. Ugh.

Yikes! I didn't realise it had increased that much! Thank you both for confirming :)

Thanks everyone for your help  :hug:

Unfortunately Sora they are correct  :huh: It's insane considering 4 blind bags only weigh, maybe 4 ounces.
