i would imagine the shipping charges are a lot more going to anywhere, if you are shipping from clown town.

actually priority shipping for squadts is more like 6 or 7, sometime $8.70 depending where you ship to and from.

The one I just sent to you was US$4.99 for USPS Priority Mail 2-3 day service with tracking.
I have sent similar size/weight boxes all across the country for the same price.

It costs more to ship internationally or to Hawaii/Alaska, but anywhere in the Continental US should cost you about $5.
If it costs more you are picking the wrong service or getting ripped off. Don't use flat rate unless you are shipping something that weighs more than 10 lbs, and if at all possible buy your postage online.

im not really a big fan of international shipping if its a small item i dont usually mind but the big items are such a pain in the ass. gotta fill out a long ass form and it cost alot usually. sometimes though ill be a nice guy and do it for people though if they really want what i am selling.

Read my post more carefully.
Like I said, I have shipped similar sized boxes (12x12x8 with a 2lb weight in this case) all over the Continental United States via USPS Priority for about $5. It costs more to Canada (about $15) and the cost to other countries varies even more. If you are paying more than $5 you are doing it wrong. USPS Priority costs do not really vary inside of the Continental United states based on distance unless the package is oddly sized or heavy.

Incidentally the most expensive thing I have shipped in the last year or so was US$35 to the Phillipines for a 1lb Transformers toy I was selling for $15.

I dunno about all that. I owed a friend and ordered an extra of each of the last two squadts for him. I just sent them out. I taped the regular squadts boxes together, just like they get shipped to us. I'm in Cali and he's in a Major U.S. City in the middle of the country. It was around $15 to ship it to him. I don't know what I could have done differently to ship it via U.S. priority for a cheaper price.

Buy your shipping label online.

I never go to the post office either. Every time I do I get ripped off by all kinds of sudden fees and such that don't match up either to the prices on the wall, or what their own website says X service should cost. I ship everything I send out with an label I print from the USPS website and then either drop the package off at a box or leave it on my porch for the mailman to take when he drops of my mail. You can order free packing boxes from the USPS website along with all kinds of other stuff (international labels, stickers whatever) and they get delivered to your house with your mail for free as well.

I have shipped from MA where I live to California several times.
Using US Priority 2-3 day (not Flat Rate) costs me the same amount as it would to ship to the other side of the town I live in.

Big C, did you use Flat Rate shipping? Everytime I have no choice but to go to the post office thats the service they try to make me choose, a lot of times they don't even ask.

Don't think so, but can't be sure.

I've sent a Squadt priority (no extras and no flatrate) to NYC and it cost $8.70. Still got the reciept.

Btw have anyone of you guys received Gassed 2 after it was reported that some has gotten them? I still see no sign of it yet.

And BTW... I found myself a Gassed s2 for a reasonable prize!!! Complete at last!

Hey, Mendez and I got ours on the same day for once. We're probably only a few miles apart and there always seems to be a one day delay for one of us.
