    Years ago I had some fabric friends in Australia and it wasn't that bad... has been awhile since then so I don't know current tariff or customs stuff. It was pretty fast getting there, but one of them was remote and it often took a bit to get to home.

    This might help you:

    Says (if it fits) and under 4 lbs, would start at $17 (US).

    It cost me $2.95 in Canada to mail a Christmas card to Australia this December. I hope sending a package from the US is more reasonable.

    I doubt it, everything is double in Canada compared to everywhere else in the world.

    First Class International would be $39.30
    Priority International would be $66.20

    Ridiculously pricey, which is why I can't send packages there anymore.
