Hope this doesn't count as a premature bump but I added two boards, just trying to make way for other keyboards!

I don't know what price was quoted, but international shipping from the US is $78 in a flat rate game board box, $54 to Canada.

There are some alternatives, but they are quite cumbersome. Far too much effort for a seller who is only making a few tens of dollars anyway.
"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.

Depending on weight it can be shipped for less. I recently sent Model M and a pure aluminum plate in the same box (it was ~6.5 lbs) to the UK for ~$60 and I believe there was a few dollars cheaper option but I went with the quicker method.

And I used a USPS game board box however I printed my own label at home and did not use the flat rate option.

I have been told multiple times that if a flat rate box is used, flat rate must be paid.

Dunno....it worked for me but I guess YMMV.....I only used it because it can be hard to find a suitable box that some of the larger keyboards actually fit in.

Sort of like the small priority boxes being sent first class....they seem to be cracking down on those also.

I thought it was that expensive too but sneaky postal service only shows the price for their 3-5 day international shipping. First class is slower but much cheaper! Both boards are heading out to Indonesia, shipping is in the $30-$40 price range, not TOO bad. $39 at post office for a 4 pound package (AEKII weight).

That being said, the two boards and clack are sold!

It was explained to me that first class will not apply above a certain threshold that is well below what it takes to ship a keyboard, something like less than 13 ounces and less than 3/4" thick.

The US Post Office website is horrible and inscrutable, I always ask the people who work there.
