So I just took a peek at shipping costs again, pretty much exactly what I had posted a long time ago.
The cases will be shipping out in boxes that are 12"x6"x2" which are pretty much the smallest boxes I could find that fits a poker. Having sent one of the unanodized cases to boost already, I know that it weighs dangerously close to 1 kg when all packaged up. For destinations outside North America, this isn't a problem since the weight limit for the cheaper shipping options is 2 kg, but for North America it's 1 kg. I actually had to trim off some of the box flaps when I sent it to boost so that it was under 1 kg, it was literally like 50 g overweight before I did that and they wouldn't accept it. I'll pretty confident I'll be able to get it under 1 kg though.
All the shipping prices I'm quoting here are rounded to the nearest dollar from the Canada Post website and you're free to double check for yourself if you like. My postal code is H9R 5L9.
Canada (this one varies greatly with how far you are from Quebec, so I'll have to either let you know individually or you could sort of ballpark it. The first figure is within Quebec, the second is for Vancouver on the other side of Canada)
$9 - $14 ground (3 to 7 days)
$13 - $24 express (1 to 2 days; comes with tracking number)
US
$13 ground (6 to 12 days)
$16 air (4 to 10 days)
$21 expedited (4 days; comes with a tracking number)
--for those that ordered 2 it should be $27 expedited and for those that ordered 3 it should be $29 expedited (the other two methods aren't available for the weight of more than 1 case)
Europe/Australia/Thailand (the latter two are actually like $1 more but it's close enough)
$16 ground (4 to 6 weeks) <-- this is kind of slow sadly, but sending it by air is pretty expensive :S
$35 air (6 to 10 days)
--Note that neither of these come with tracking numbers, the options that do cost as much as the case itself... I've shipped a few things to Europe before without problem though. If something goes missing along the way I'll cover for it.
-------------------
So once I get these back tomorrow and make sure that they're okay, I'll start collecting the remainder for the anodizing and shipping method of your choice. When you pay this amount please tell me the shipping method you would like and if you need me to declare the package a certain way (i.e. as a gift of a certain value, but please only ask if you know you need it declared like that).
