POSTAGE RATES TO AUSTRALIA
 
One of the most difficult decisions is how to post your items to Australia.
The simple chart below will allow you to compare the cost of the most popular services, understand how they increase and shows the services offered with each. There is also a Global Express that guarantees 1-3 days and can be estimated by doubling the cost of  Express Shipping. Please note that as of 1.18.09 prices for Priority and Express have increased significantly. I usually discourage the use of First Class mail as I have had one parcel disappear. Now that other services have become so expensive, I understand that the First Class is priced far more attractivly. There is a Signature Confirmation that will allow your First Class parcel to be signed for upon arrival. This will somewhat improve the security of First Class service. Previously, adding this $10.80 charge to First Class postage almost made it equal to paying for Express or Priority, but now it makes economic sense. I encourage you to investigate this added service at www.usps.com under the guidelines for Australia (or your own country).

Q. How much will my new shoes cost to ship?

A. A pair of heels shipped in their own box (wrapped in paper) will be just under 2lb.

Use the chart above to determine the best method and costs.

 

If  you are clever you will also purchase goodies such as cosmetics or soft t-shirts that can be put in the shoe box with your shoes and shipped for a couple of dollars extra (or maybe the same amount!!)
