Will be interesting to see the comparison in prices.Flat rate of $25 or so and $5.95 per 500g might be much the same if you are purchasing heavy items. I was trying to purchase a Clay Smith Cams tee shirt in the Us early in the year and postage was $56 for postage when you can get tee shirt locally for same price and $7 postage. Will be nice to see if it is cheaper to get tyres in the States with this system.

I just had packaged posted by Shipito (freight forward company) in Nevada. The postage cost was Au$52. I did a calculation from the Australia Post's ShipMate web site for the same package and it came out at Au$66.60.
25% more, maybe the competition might help reduce the cost in the future.
