Advice for shipping from USA, by galaxy01 on May 1, 2018 14:39:52 GMT 1, When I have bought from Etsy in the past, and people want to charge $80 to ship something, I usually point them to a well known UK service which is now in the US: www.parcelmonkey.com/
They offer their own service as well as DHL for less than USPS international.

Advice for shipping from USA, by soupy on May 1, 2018 15:03:49 GMT 1, USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL is the cheapest ... slow but cheap and they offer tracking for most countries. 4 pound weight limit ... $400 max value on the customs form. tube can be up to 24 inches long... but i've found you can go over that by a few inches (as long as it is not huge). pay for and print label at home so the USPS teller agent doesn't do the dimensions and weight measurements. also saves you money if you print through paypal versus teller window.

Advice for shipping from USA, by rodgro on May 3, 2018 3:08:45 GMT 1, Iโve had the best luck with UPS when it comes to large valuable pieces. Far less expensive than Fed Ex when I was comparing prices. Hope this helps.

Advice for shipping from USA, by NYart on May 3, 2018 20:26:52 GMT 1, Iโve always done USPS, but would like to find an alternative. Even with insurance I have doubts about how successful making a claim would be. How do I prove I didnโt send an empty box, or it wasnโt damaged already? If the buyer signs for a dented package, that clears USPS of responsibility doesnโt it?
