i'm ba-a-ack!
okay....one box 12 x 8 x 4 (approximate) from the post office, is allowed to take 20 pounds. if you stuff, stuff, stuff as much fabric as you can, you can get 33 yards and 21 inches. that's with a LOT of stuffing. does anyone know what that amount looks like? to me it looks like mt. mckinley.
flat rate overseas priority 6 - 10 delivery days, $41.95.
you're allowed 20 pounds. this much weighs less than half that. oh, plus the weight of the box.
that makes this $1.23 per pound to ship overseas. more or less. my math has never been that great.
if you're being paid in other than usd, wire transfers as well as bank checks cost $10 +/- conversion fees. those connivers.
for the price that fedex wanted, i could have flown, standby, to europe myself and delivered. of course, i couldn't get home. anyway, i am thinking australia or thereabouts.
