If ordering from outside the US you have some additional shipping choices:

• I find that the US Postal System works very well, the prices are reasonable and this is the method most people choose.

  To get a rough idea of what it might cost to ship a package to your location you can use the USPS site's international postage calculator.

  There are three methods and I'm happy to use whichever one you tell me:

  • by sea which -- takes several months -- a box full of foam will cost about $15
  • regular air mail -- takes 7-10 days -- a box full of foam will cost about $26
  • via Global Express -- takes 3 business days -- a box full of foam will cost about $32

  The only problem with the USPS is that their foreign tracking / insurance is terrible as it takes forever to process and there are lots and lots of forms to fill. If you decide to take the chance, the odds are very, very good that your package will make it through just fine but if doesn't there won't be anything I can do to help things along :-(   Because of this, for foreign orders shipped via USPS I regard my responsibility to be at an end after the package is mailed.

  (On the other hand, when using USPS, I'm quite happy to declare any value you ask me to use on the items being shipped.) (:-)

• If you decide you don't want to take the risk I'm happy to use your choice of FedEx, Airborne Express, DHL, or any other major carrier. The price to ship the items will be about twice as much as with the post office and the full value will have to be declared on the customs form but on the other hand if anything goes wrong I'll handle any insurance paperwork and will make sure that you receive your goodies.

  To check shpping prices and conditions for these carriers please see their websites:

  • Federal Express
  • DHL
  • Airborne Express
  (For those sites that ask for it, use the US Zip Code 11377 for the departure location.)

• If you have any other preferences or methods you like to use I'll be happy to use this also but please tell me about it beforehand at: HERE

Whichever method you use, simply go ahead and fill out the shopping cart credit card payment method normally and after the item is shipped I'll add a second purchase to your card for the additional amount of the shipping charges.
