An International Rate Chart that is better suited to the way my mind works. Your mileage may vary. Apologies in advance for the kludgy HTML. FYI, Most books should fit into the "Priority Mail International -- Flat-Rate Envelope" at a cost of US$16.95(US$12.95 to Canada and Mexico). With the 2012 increases, the USPS expanded the number of 'zones' from 10 to 17, giving a number of countries their own special (and usually increased) rates for Priority and Express options. The UK, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Japan, and The Netherlands will all have rates differing from their neighbors
For additional shipping information, see my shipping page. If you have any comments, corrections or questions about the chart, please email me.
