...I say, lets look into that teleportation thing once again
Tim has always shipped at the best price possible to us outside the UK. He is far far cheaper than most I have questioned before about postage costs.
No one likes shipping but until we get teleportation sussed (without the whole mutating into a fly thing) its a fact of life Must say though I find Tim's rates most reasonable, especially when you look at what half the sellers on ebay charge. Now I don't know how it works for Tim but sending stuff abroad normally involves extra paperwork and sadly extra risk, so I don't think its unreasonable to charge more. Just my 2p.Neil
Last order I placed (might have been my only order - can't recall) shipping was $8.I tend to order single items, so I just keep the shipping cost plus exchange rate in mind when shopping around to see where to get the best deal.It's all part of internet shopping.

Gotta be careful about flat rate shipping, as it can be more expensive instead of cheaper.Here are the options I had for shipping 2 flashlights totalling in at 11 ounces from Alaska to where I live:Express Mail International 5 Days $30.00 Express Mail International Flat-Rate Envelope 5 Days $25.95Priority Mail International 6-10 Days $19.00Priority Mail International Flat-Rate Envelope 6-10 Days $10.95First-Class Mail International Large Envelope Varies $3.61 Priority or First-Class International takes 12 - 14 days to get here anyway (the USPS numbers are SWAGs IMHO) , so why pay the extra money?I have a package inbound from the US that used a flat-rate box, and that was $13.

...I just needed to get this stuff of my chest to a some people who might understand some of where I am coming from (hopefully)....
I almost always request First-Class Mail International when dealing with a US seller. It usually only takes 8-10 business days to arrive in Toronto which is good enough for most things.I just needed to get this stuff of my chest to a some people who might understand some of where I am coming from (hopefully)....
Could be because postage is going up yet again on Monday.
Despite the fact that U.S. Postal rates have gone up twice and are going up again in a couple of days, I have decided - for MT and SOSAK members only - to return to $5. shipping to Canada for one or two regular knives. Will need more for larger items or multiple knives.
