Need help with shipping options
Hey guys, I'm looking to ship some cards overseas and would like help trying to figure out which is the best way to go. There is about 11 cards with toploaders and a couple with screwdown cases that if I were to ship it with bubble mailers it would take me about 3 of 'em to do so, so I was thinking maybe a flat rate box would be best, but don't really know how it works...do I buy the box from the post office or is it included with the flate rate option?
or do I just buy the box elsewhere and ship it with the flat rate option? lmk what you guys think would the best way to go about this, any and all help would be appreciated.

the priority flat rate boxes are provided by the post office, but i've only shipped flat rate domestically. I don't know if they have an international flat rate option. The boxes for the premium shipping services are usually free. You'll just have to provide the tape (unless it's a self-adhesivie box) and bubble wrap.

I ship a lot overseas, and this is how I would handle it. Buy a very small box, just enough to hold the cards and some bubble wrap. Ship the cards standard international, no need for priority or all of the other expensive options, the cards will usually get there in the same amount of time, and it won't cost you a fortune. I've shipped over 300 auctions all over the world with standard service and have never had a problem. You'll need PS Form 2976 to attach to the box. Should cost no more than $5.
