You can ship them in a bubble mailer first class for 6.55 good sir and the tracking works, sometimes it just doesn't show up for some reason

Even after today's postage rate increase? They always make me send bubble mailers with keycaps as package rate, as they aren't uniformly thick. And the lowest package rate I find for Great Britain as an example is $13.50, even for 1 ounce. Canada is $9.50.

So, I checked USPS today, and it seems that the minimum international shipping cost, using untracked First Class mail, will be $13.50 for each int'l shipment. Now, I'm not going to charge more than the $10 listed in the OP, because that's already asking a lot of our international members to pay, when the shipping cost is double the price of a set of caps. What this means is that the group buy as a whole will make up the difference in shipping cost. This works, of course, with a small-ish amount of int'l orders. If I were to see a large influx of int'l orders, I would have to charge actual shipping instead. I really hate USPS right now.

Although I am located in the state, I wouldn't a slight bump in price to justify the shipping for international. After all, we are a community

USPS just went up like 30% as of today. And whoever shipped you that keyboard for $6 obviously didn't charge you the full amount they paid to ship it. Or they built some of the shipping cost into the sale price.

You got a deal at $6! I can't even get a plain envelope to Canada for $6.00 and I'm like a 4 hour drive from the border. Shipping international is stupid expensive.

And Paid!

Oh, I have signatures turned off, due to some obnoxious graphics advertising keycap group buys hosted at PMK.

Probably next month will be bigger, as I just threw this one together last minute. I certainly appreciate the help, though, and all the orders everyone has placed already!

That is the plan. Seems to be running smoothly so far.

Next month I may have to increase shipping price for int'l orders, or use proxies. I just hate using proxies, because that increases the chance something might fail somewhere. Int'l shipping would need to increase to about $15 per order. Of course, I could always set it up to ship to int'l peeps quarterly, if they want to participate in 3 months worth of GBs, with combined shipping....

I know you've covered this, but is there really no way to send bubble mailers internationally? My local post office never hassled me about it. And if you print your own shipping on stamps.com or via Paypal, they'd probably make it through fine.

That price IS for bubble mailers!

My post office always makes me pay "parcel" rate for bubble mailers. I think some people get away with large envelope rate at some locations, but the employees here are trained to charge package rate for everything.
