Shipping methods to germany...

[path]

Hi, would be nice if someone could help me. I bought 7 loose figures and I got an invoice with over 15 pounds shipping costs using airsure. This sounds a little bit high for me. I bought a lot of items in the last 3 years and never had so high shipping(and I bought vehicles like B-Wing, X-WIng etc.)
I guess the seller didn´t know a proper shipping method. When I want to ship from germany to UK it also ranges between 4.50 € and 30 €.
So, can someone tell mich which cheap shipping method the seller can use?

If the seller sends by airmail small packets it should be £2 - £3, but thats uninsured. Airsure shouldn't add £10 to that :shock:

Hope that helps

Insured airmail costs a crazy amount of money !! :lol:

I sent a figure to America without insurance for £1.50 and then I sent 2 figures to Spain insured for only £30 and it cost me around £5 !! :x

That sounds way too much
I paid about £20 to have something sent from Mexico in 2 days - tracked and insured with UPS.
I'd ask the seller to check the shipping rates again

I'm sending my 12 in boba fett to Germny insured and that will be around £10. EU insurance for up to £500 is about £6 plus the normal postage

can someone tellme the name of a shipping method to germany with a proof of postage.
I looked at Royalmail website-I think signed for small packets should be cheaper.

If it's a jiffy bag or small box then "Royal Mail international signed for" is the service the seller will use. That automatically covers the package for £30 but you can pay for higher insurance if you want.

Here is a link to the 'International Signed For' page on Royal Mail, you have to add the shipping cost to this service and it only insures to about £30 unless you add a further £2 I think.

I took boba in to the PO today and got the prices for int signed for and airsure tracked.

£11.08 or £11.78 for a 940 g box insured for £100
