There is no one post price for any location, except for satchels in Australia, Paypal cannot calculate postage in checkout due to the many variants.

If you choose to use Paypal without the post added, it is OK as I will simply calculate post and send on to you a Paypal invoice for post.

If you wish to pay by any other method. You most certainly can. So long as it is not a overseas Bank transfer. Just email me with your option.

We do not use random size cardboard boxes if we can avoid it as Australia post measures them and charges rediculously high prices for the post on the same. We use Australia post boxes where possible.

Post destinations - I post to anywhere in the World.

IN AUSTRALIA only - A parcel up to 500 grams to anywhere in Australia is AU $6.50. A parcel up to 3 Kilograms to anywhere in Australia is AU $11.

All parcel over 3 Kilograms are calculated at the post calculator at Australia post using standard post boxes http://www1.auspost.com.au/pac/

We only charge the post office rates plus a $3 P/P fee for parcel over 3 Kg in Australia as we need to purchase post boxes.

Post within Queensland can take two to three days. All other states up to 5 or 6 days. Now that Australia post uses private contractors post to Perth will take at least 10 days.

OVERSEAS All postage is calculated at Australia Post website www1.auspost.com.au/pac/  including a $3 P/P fee to pay our costs. We do not profit from post.

There is no Registered post or insurance (Tracking) on parcels over 2Kg available from Australia. That, we find extremely odd also.

All overseas regular air mail can take 7 days or more depending on your Customs procedures.

Sea mail can take 12 weeks. This is why it is much cheaper.

If you do not know the correct amount for postage, please ask me for a quote due to the many post rate variations.
