Thing is, I just wasnt prepared. I send out carepackages all the time to the Marines, and it is always domestic rate, even though they are going over seas. I had in my head domestic rates, so when she told me the cost I about choked LOL.
Dour better love me GOOD for this. hahahahaha

I've sent a few packs since starting this hobby.
Sent 8 locks, weighing in at 2.7kg to Canada (Awol) and it cost me 54 Aussie bucks (Which is going very well these days I'll add.)
Sent two locks to Texas (Stace) weighing in at half a kg and it cost me 25 bucks.
Sent a plushie toy and a little notepad over to England (Frantic) weighing in at nearly nothing, and it cost me... i think about 15 bucks.
Postal services have alot to answer for.
This being said, I recieved a pack in the mail earlier this week and it would have weighed more than 2.5kgs easily... easily more than 3 i think and it came from the other side of Australia... I wonder how much that woulda cost haha.
And Stace, I dont love you.
Im OBSESSED!!!
I cant wait for the pack to arrive! ^^;

(canada) but be on your toes i,ve just sent one to a guy in usa= a lock plus bonus stuff and the bonus gear has been removed from the package this may be because the bonus stuff wasn,t listed on declaration label???????
