Is this a joke?

Variables

-Shipping company (FedEx, USPS, UPS, Canada Post, CanPar, Dynamex, Purolator, etc)

-Time of year

-Method of shipment (Ground, Air, Ship)

-Where the product is being shipped from

-Size of product

-Weight of product

-Value of product/insurance


Just look up some shipping companies that have offices in the continent you wish to order from.

Its absolute laziness on your part not to look this up.

Use one of these websites to find a rough estimate of your shipping cost.

www.fedex.com

www.purolator.com

www.usps.com

www.canadapost.com

www.ups.com

Lyndon, fuck off, you seriously write the most douchbag responses.  My bad for being a little vague, but I'm just looking for a vague quote for some new skis.  I tried calculating it, it over quotes me.  So stop cunting up my thread little buddy, k?

USPS is much cheaper, it costs 4 bucks to ship a large envelope under a pound to France, but I'm guessing skis will be around 30-40 bucks, but definitely not 100, just go on usps.com and look up international rates

He could be ordering from a shop in Europe.

And P-JO, I wasnt trying to be rude. I gave a list of different sites to check.

If those dont work, contact the shop in which you are buying the skis from. Its not your job to find the shipping, thats the duty of the shop.

Lastly, I wouldnt take anyones word on this site for a shipping rate. Alot of people respond to posts they have no knowledge about, your best bet would be to use a shipping company's website to calculate the rate.

If the rate is too general, or seems to much, go into the option to buy an online shipping lable. Fill all of the information out, and it should give you an exact dollar value for the shipping charge.

I lived in Europe for 5 years, and it definitely isn't $100.  Maybe if you ship skis or something really heavy, but even then maybe $50.  It depends on what you are shipping and who you use.

mind if i bump this?

gotta get skis from shipped out to germany, and as far as i know USPS limits the length of their packages to 40 inches or something like that...

so the 60 bucks somebody mentioned up there sound too good to be true

Yeah I figured out shipping, I went to Fedex and UPS. At both places it was like minimum $150 USD to send out a pair of STLs in the smallest box possible. So be careful if you charge someone for shipping.

I charged the guy in France like $70 for shipping, found out it was $150, so I asked him for the difference, and the douchbag refused, although I dont really blame him, so now my paypal account is in negative balance from his dispute. There was no way I was covering his $80 shipping cost though.

USPS is much cheaper internationally because (from what I recall) they dont have insurance or anything (internationally at least). When I shipped a pair of goggles, there was no specified expectancy time, it just said something like 2-6 weeks maybe. Its a risk shipping USPS internationally, but its much cheaper, and if they buyer is willing to risk it, go for it. UPS and Fedex were both around 70$ to ship a pair of EG2s, so skis would be a bitch.
