Anyone have any idea? (shipping quote?)

[Jinxxy]

Anyone have the slightest clue on what I should charge someone wanting to ship about ten ponies to Germany?
I live in Idaho, USA and I'm new to international sales and therefore, totally stumped!

Any help would be, uh, helpful.

get the shipping adress,

box everything up and go to your local post office and ask them for quotes

fist class / air
and  econemy / sea

sea is usualy a 1 third the price for air, but can take up to  3 months to arive,

once you have the quotes from the post office   you can discuess with your  buyer how to proceed. 

also its a good idea to note down the  dimentions and wieght of the parcle  just incase they pull from the sale, that way you have it on hand  and can just call a OP for  quotes if selling to another country

hop it helps

http://postcalc.usps.com gives you the different options for the US Postal Service.

Fill in the form with your info and the final page gives you options for Express, Priority Mail, and First Class.

Priority Mail doesn't give you much savings or faster transit. I would say that First Class would give you your best cost if the package is under 4 pounds.

Good luck!

10 ponies to Germany? I can imagine that would be fairly expensive. One pony to Germany form the US is around $8ish if I remember correctly.

Pyro has great advice.  It's really hard to give an exact quote for First Class International without weight, destination and dimentions.

I can say that a rough estimate is going to be around $22.49.  But that is just an estimate.    And assuming it is for 10 adult ponies.

And although you can take it to the PO to get a price, you can also do it all from home if you have a postal or food scale to weigh your items.

Here are a couple links I use for International sales:

Don't forget to put them in the box with packing stuff!  I've just weighed the ponies themselves by accident and had to eat a few bucks!
