Shipping costs from the U.S

[timbo72]

Would you say 45 bucks is about right to ship a moc over to the Uk ??

I have no idea on shipping prices, but last week i paid 6 us dollars to have a loose figure shipped from Mexico (and that was recorded)

How much do you guys that buy from America normally pay ??

I've paid from $10 to $15 for unregistered shipping for one MOC.
Also paid $35 for registered shipping from Canada for one MOC.

Edit: That's from the US and Canada to Norway though...

I got one two mocs sent over and it cost about 35 to 40 $.
And like Liam says, don't forget customs and handling costs, unless the seller will mark it as a gift of $35 or less.

The seller wont mark it down at all for customs. How much would are customs charges ??? do they vary ??

Oh dear, you will soon find out that they are very very unpleasant Tim & IMO a bloody outrage - 20% import tax + £8 hanling charge & you can up the handling charge to £13.50 if sent via express, they also charge import duty if the item is valued over £200 & wait for it - you get charged that 20% on your postage costs as well. just to add insult to injury m8

These are priority flat rate and work best with heavier items. Normally shipping one MOC should cost no more than $15. So not sure what he is using to ship one MOC. Anyhting under 4 lbs can go first class, which is considerably cheaper than Priority. Hope this helps.

Todd is correct. I used to do a MOC for around $12, but with recent increases, it is now closer to $15. However, at that rate there is no insurance or tracking, so both the buyer and seller have to agree with that risk.

Customs are an arse - I have had a note through the door today wanting £11.31 - fecking £8.00 is the handling fee and customs get the princely sum of £3.31 - cunts
