be much appreciated.

Pricing pretty much I'm working with limited funds and may need to borrow some
so somewhat of an exact estimate would help in procuring said extra fundage.

Are you shipping a guitar strap, Les Paul, or Mesa 4x12? I can't guess that for you.

USPS has all the infos you'll ever need, you just need the zipcode of your buyer.

lol exactly. also, if you can fit those three pedals in a bubble envelope, you may save some cash but the stuff may be less protected unless you wrap the shit out of it in newspaper/bubble wrap. if you're shipping from the states it'll probably be somewhere between $15-40. just expect the worst and be happy if it's less!

You do know that Flat Rate Shipping boxes are a flat rate, right?
Medium Flat Rate boxes can be used for Domestic Priority Mail ($10.70) and International Priority Mail ($26.95 to Canada and Mexico- $43.45 to all other countries, 20 lb weight limit applies)
Take a guess how much it is going to cost you.

Shipping calc:
http://ircalc.usps.gov/You'll also want Intl Priority if you need signature/tracking, otherwise you have to trust in the recipient and in the postal service ... which is sometimes OK, sometimes not.

$43.45 isn't bad for Priority International, but you can probably cut that in half if you go First Class International. Only downfall is that it's not trackable and it can take 6-10 business days to reach the destination. Priority International is much quicker, with available tracking.

When you say cut in half for international first class you mean around twenty something instead of forty something right?

I'm going to slowly just back out of this thread. All the best on your sale, and I pray for the buyer of your pedals.
