Shipping from US to China? How much?

[BenC7]

Was wondering if anyone has mailed something as cheap as possible to china before? I am considering mailing something that is <2 lbs but am trying to figure out the cost and USPS isn't being very helpful.

I'm not sure if this the right section. If its wrong my apologies.

All I know is, I sent 2 30ml juice in plastic bottles to my husband in Malaysia via FedEx ... and it took 7 days and cost me a whopping $117 !!!

Why don't you go to www.usps.com and check out what the postage is?

International first class is usually cheaper in person than purchasing labels online. For example Shipping to canada costs $12 on the site but is only about $3 in person. I don't have the package. If I open the package I can't refuse it either.

I regularly ship small packages under 1 pound overseas. First class is the cheapest but can't be insured. It's only a few dollars. Yes, check usps.com. If you can put it one of those padded envelopes so it looks more like a letter than a package you can often save a lot.

7 day delivery of a < 1 pound package anywhere in the world is under $45 by the post office and it can be insured. (Express mail.) Using Fedex or UPS for worldwide shipment is a total ripoff. I never do it. I've shipped hundreds of packages this way. Yes, they DO get there in 7 days most of the time, even to Hong Kong and Australia.

Thanks for the info. Do you think 31 5ML bottles and a box of cartos could fit one of those smaller packages?

I went over to www.usps.com and calculated a 2 lbs package and it was about

$17.00 for First Class.
$17.00 for Priority Mail Flat Rate Box.

You going o have to go to the post office to ship it I believe. Because you have to fill out a Customs Slip.

Shouldn't be to much, especially not $117. =]
