$10.60 flat rate and some times you can't even track it on the USPS website...

At least it's better then what Canada Post offers where registration is only available to certain countries that happen to be the ones that don't actually need it to begin with because they have reliable postal systems. Another catch? Registration can only be achieved by sending the item "Express Post" (except locally) and for a single CD in a jewel case to most European countries will run you about $50.00. Rip off………….

I couldnt find a better thread so I'll ask here.

A question to people who live in Italy. A guy from Italy wants 8,5€ for shipping of one CD to Poland via standard service (Spedizione internazionale standard). How much does shipping from Italy really cost? Is he telling the truth that there is no cheaper way?

8.5E is the cheapest registered airmail.

I do not know how postage rates are in the rest of EU,
but in Italy the cost are crazy!
For to send one LP in Germany with registered mail (the less expensive, secure and traceable): 13 euro :?:

Not so often I sell something on ebay and I offer a lower cost (8-9 euro max) for to attract the users; but really this means 4 euro loss on every LP auction... when a record is sold for less than 10 euro... is a little tragedy

Prices are correct, we have insanely high shipping rates...

11 euro to send a single cd outside Europe ... crazy.

Ps. I'm seeing massive delaying in shipping from Germany to Italy, somebody confirm ?

And all those packets have been sent through courriers (EMS) I don't think that many use that method... And noone claimed postal delays from Greece. The usual delays were from US...
