Shipping to Germany
« on: Thu, 26 January 2012, 18:08:09 »
Does anybody now a way to ship US->Germany for a reasonable price? I'm thinking actually _ship_. Because normal airmail is filthy expensive especially for heavy things like keyboards.

I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

I just did DHL again....$115. I'm not making a mistake. USA to Germany, 2 pounds.

I'll try USPS, but they have always seemed to be crazy high.

USPS is around $20 for 1kg, send standard first class, not priority. Online they don't always offer it, you need to take it to the post office.

Really? Not online? What a load!

Thanks for that. the package is less than 10" in every dimension and maybe 2 pounds. I've shipped similar, and it was maybe $30 last summer. I have been flabbergasted by the rates I've come up with online. This is NOT express either.

I swing by P.O. tomorrow to check out! :)

Yeah, just tell them you want to send it the cheapest possible. I still miss sea economy, those were the days even if it did take 2 months.

You still can get that, you just need to send enough to go via container :)

USPS flat rate priority mail "game box" is $58 to anywhere in the world.

You cannot pick up the empty boxes at the post office, but they will deliver them to your doorstep free of charge.

Not as cheap as you might prefer, but a "sure thing" so you will not have to pay more.


PS - the same box is only $15 anywhere domestic and they are pretty fast (<72 hours to Alaska but >4 days to California from Georgia).

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
