Hey, don't get any idea that I blame you - it's a PITA. I'm fortunate in that I can ship most stuff Priority Mail flat rate... it can sting when I have to get outside that range.

But especially for international shipping, checking all the options can pay off. For Oz, surface shipping is slow and inconvenient but often much cheaper. The downunda crowd is also used to having to wait forever and pay extra for things. (I was involved with an Aussie company for several years in the 1980s and got all too familiar with the plight of hobbyists there.)

For the kind of items you ship, consider finding a bulk reshipper rather than shipping directly.
