Starting today I am now offering two shipping options for international customers – expedited and economy shipping.<\/p>\n

As some folks are no doubt already aware, USPS Priority Mail International costs have more than doubled in the past few years. <\/p>\n

Back in 2009 it cost about $12.95 to ship a USPS small flat rate box overseas. As of this year, the cost to ship that same small flat rate box is now over $30!<\/p>\n

I’ve received feedback from several customers that the costs to ship overseas were too high, so I started looking at other options and found that USPS First-Class Package International offers slower delivery times (4-6 weeks) but costs less than half as much as USPS Priority Mail. In fact, the current USPS First-Class Package International rates are pretty close to what I was paying for Priority Mail when I first started selling kits. With this new economy shipping option, I can ship a single kit to Canada for $9.50 and to most of the rest of the world for $13.50.<\/p>\n

I hope that the economy option appeals to overseas customers who are willing to wait a bit longer to receive their kit. For folks who are more impatient, I am still offering Expedited shipping (via USPS Priority Mail). For super time-critical orders I can also offer Express shipping on a case by case basis (please contact me<\/a> before placing your order).<\/p>\n

To learn more about my kits or to place an order:

\nAVR HV Rescue Shield<\/a><\/p>\n

Important note: Regardless of shipping method, VAT taxes, duties, import tariffs, customs fees, etc. are always the responsibility of the buyer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
