timwt Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 A flat rate for international shipping would be something like $8-9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 "international" shipping is a misnomer. to ship an LP to canada it costs $5ish. and i'm pretty sure to ship an LP to the UK is more than $8-9. best way to do it is to charge what it actually costs.

element101 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 for some reason it cost me about 7 bucks to ship to canada. and the rest is usually $4-$10 with some exeptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Tom Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 yeah dude, shippig to the UK can be anything from $10 to $24 depending on how many LPs are in the box. The fairest way is to just charge what it costs you. It might sound dear, but people will know your not scamming them because the price is printed on the stamp.

chaps Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 1 LP on average is 13 I have found, but that includes Germany and stuff. Any more than one and it can go up from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutinyzine Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I think one LP from the US to europe is around $10 or so. At least that's what VC charges. 2 LP's are $15 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefan Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I came here to post in before gravitylovedrunks says something about shipping to Canada being the same as shipping within the US... guess I was an hour late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusbot Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 When I mail a single LP to Canada it costs me $6-7. When I mail a single LP to Europe or the rest of the world is is usually $13-15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thingswecarry Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 To Australia it's usually $12 +$4 or so for each additional LP for 12/10" and $10+$3 for each additional EP for 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Netherlands 1 lp first class is $12 on the nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melikecheese Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 If you are doing eBay, I just tell international to contact me, saves me the trouble of trying to figure it out when I don't need to. Then if they do not I can guess and if I guess too high I don't feel too bad because they didnt read and contact me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Canada typically runs me about $5.71 for 1 LP. What I do know is that my store only charges $4.76 for 1 LP. Europe usually runs me about $10.30 - $11.95 for 1 LP. I want to say Australia is a little cheaper like $9.95 - $11.30 for 1 LP. My store pulls exact shipping from usps.com but it can fluctuate a bit at times but typically benefits the buyer in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celebdeath Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 usually around 12 for shipping a single LP from the US to Australia and anywhere from 13-17 for a double, depending how intense the packaging is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerrwk Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 oy, yeah international shipping is brutal. my band put out a double lp recently and it's costing us on average $20 just to ship each overseas order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottheisel Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Whenever I ebay stuff I usually charge a flat international rate of $12 for an LP and $6 for a 7".Sorry Canada. I'm not fair. Eh, I do a flat international rate of $15, no matter what the item is -- mainly because I hate filling out customs forms. I'll generally also use the extra money to send the package certified mail (which is the only way to guarantee it got there when dealing with international shipping).

alertthemute Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I've always found that shipping to Canada has been the cheapest coming from California. I don't really understand why because that is the greatest distance to travel to where I am, whereas somewhere like New York is twice as much and like a 1/4 the distance.

Yeah that sounds fair to me, I hate it when some people charge the same amount regardless if it's an LP or a single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timwt Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 For my online store I changed international shipping to $10. And Canada is only $6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
