$120 to India?...Tell me THAT's not ridiculous!...Almost the same for Bangladesh and England...Sooo, I'm going to transfer all international packages to large flat rate boxes, which will only cost around $60 each for anything outside of the United States...I'm going to compare prices with UPS first, but I don't think they can do it any cheaper than that.

Also...It's not as easy as I thought it would be...I have to fill out customs forms (at least the forms are free :D)...I had no idea...lol...I guess I don't have to tell you guys that I have never sent packages to other countries before...Oh well, every new experience is a learning experience :)

Neverending, your package has been dropped off, and should be at your house sometime next week :cool:

I was fearing as much.

For me it is close to about $180 (conversion from Indian Rupees) PLUS handling charges, which would be around $10 more, so a total of $190. Like I mentioned in the Package thread, it is close to a week's pay for me, and that's why I am hesitant till I get some sort of assurance from others.

Rayne, if it's too much of a hassle, drop me from your list. Send my box to someone else over there. $60 isn't exactly small either, it's a lot of good money. You gotta save everything you got for your wedding next year.

Maybe you could make your box smaller, V?

_____V_____ 05-20-2011 11:59 PM

Any smaller and it wouldn't be a Package.

Right now I have planned - 3 DVDs, 5 VHSes, 3 books, 4-5 magazines, a couple Audio CDs and some smaller accessory-type stuff.

I could take out the Audio CDs and possibly 2-3 VHSes, maybe even a DVD, but that would make it very monotonous. The person receiving from me should get some variety in their choices too.

Wow, Rayne, that is one heck of a shipping cost! I'm with Avi, if you need to drop me off the list then that's cool. Don't put your purse on the line if you don't have to.

If anyone sends to me, I'll share the shipping costs. I'll even pay 75% if need be.

I had no idea shipping costs were so expensive honestly those amounts are daylight robbery. For that reason i'm not getting involved with any packages.

Rayne 05-21-2011 06:25 AM

$60 is fine for us, it just means that I will have to do it the way I outlined it to begin with, rather than sending 4-6 boxes at a time...I suppose this will teach me to have some patience (by "teach" I mean 'force'...lol)...The cost to send the boxes inside the United States, is easy so adding that to the $60 will be okay, too.

@Avi and Ferret: When someone 'drops' someone from a list, they drop from the BOTTOM, not the TOP!...I am VERY excited about sending these to you guys and Roshiq!...Umm...Even if you don't find anything you like in the boxes :p...Really, I just wanna share something with you guys :)

In fact, I'm pretty sure that none of you will be able to play the DVDs because of the different regions :p...But, I still want you to have them

Rayne 05-21-2011 06:27 AM

Oh, just to reiterate...Do NOT send these book boxes to anyone else...The book boxes from me are for you to KEEP!

Fearonsarms 05-21-2011 06:34 AM

I would feel too guilty making you pay extortionate shipping costs to the UK-if you didnt know the UK postal system is in tatters-plus postal workers are striking every five minutes. Be aware anything you send to the UK will be very risky
