Don't know if this can go here, but I was panning on sending a box with one MOC Elite and one MOC Legend in it to the UK
Approx. how much would that cost?

It's not anywhere near $20-$25. Put it in a box that's not to big and you can send them First Class International for about $12-$13.

I have shipped over 1000 packages over the last year international. You will not get shipping to the uk for two moc figures for only $12. though I wish it was, you are likely to spend like i said earlier 20-25. USPS just recently raised their prices so they are more expensive |

You will not get shipping to the uk for two moc figures for only $12. though I wish it was, you are likely to spend like i said earlier 20-25. USPS just recently raised their prices so they are more expensive Your probably shipping them in a box that is way to big and not using First Class International (the cheapest way to mail internationally). A MOC Elite/Legend weighs around 8 oz. Throw in some packing material and the weight of the box your looking at about 1 lb 2-3oz. To ship a package to the UK using First Class International it's around $13 and some change depending where your shipping from. What kind of box can I use? You can use any kind of box it just can't be more than 24 inches in length and the length, height, and depth can't be more than 36 inches combined. You could do what I do sometimes just go to your local post office and grab one of the Priority boxes. Take it apart and turn it inside out. Tape it back up and it works perfectly. |

I'm sorry but you're wrong. It does not cost 13 dollars to ship 2 MOC figures to the UK. It costs about 15 to ship 1 MOC figure, 2 figures will run about $20-22. I'll bet my collection on it. RKOwned when you ship them out come back to this thread and tell us how much it cost you. |

it cost anywhere between $18-24! the only way u can ship 2 figures for $12-15 if its loose & in a bubble mailer. the best susgestion u can do just take it too the post office to get an exact quote.

You cant flip a priority box inside out because its illegal. I know because I tried and the Post office worker said that would be about a $5000 fine. I looked it up and he was telling the truth. Now with international shipping you can mail your stuff via 1st class mail, but theres no tracking and no coverage if its lost. Thats why I personally send anything overseas via Priority mail because its tracked and for alot of coutries theres a up to 400 dollar coverage if your items lost. It cost about 30-40 dollars to ship two figures overseas. It is expensive but both delivering and receiving parties are covered.

It's illegal? Hmm I never knew that and I've done it quite a few times. Of course I never did it right there in the post office. I took the box home (or used one I already had) and packaged stuff up. Also I use First Class International for every single thing I send overseas (and I've sent quite a lot in my 8 years on Ebay) and I've never had a problem with any items getting lost or damaged.

Thats right its illegal and some boxes have a little magnetic strip that I guess can be scanned when going through the delivery chain. Also as stated above the newer boxes have priority mail printed all over the inside. As for getting international items lost or stolen...you are very lucky. There are many dishonest people who buy things from you. If you have no tracking or insurace than anyone could say I never received my package. The post office will not track it down and you are screwed with giving a refund and losing your product. I'm telling you it has happend several times to me and the first thing said to me was "Did you buy tracking or insurance?" Basically if you ship first class its a risk you take.
