Shipping USB flash drive from U.S to Austalia?

Question

so this guy contacted me on an item im selling on ebay ( a USB flash drive) and he wants to know if ill ship to Australia (U.S student), Im all for it but what do you think the shipping cost would be, it weighs like 2 oz. and he wants it priority mail. so what should i charge him extra, I already have it for 5.95, how much should i add on for him??

Answer 1

Yes, you should. It will cost at least 10 dollars. You can find the exact price with the following link, though. Just enter "Australia" as the destination. :-)

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

You may want to tell him to set up a US address with a parcel forwarding company like Bongo International http://www.BongoUS.com

They will put the customer through a fraud and background check (As international customers are about 280% more likely to be fraudulent).  They will also allow this guy to consolidate the items he purchases from you with other purchases in the US.  Therefore, saving him a lot of money and allowing you to ship the products domestically.  If you sell on ebay, this is a great way to protect yourself from international customers, yet still allowing you to sell to them.
