First Class USPS

Post by sdrozza »

Have any of you used it to ship internationally before ?
If so, how long did it take?

USPS First class shipping is a pretty good option. Depends on what your shipping. The first class shipping is dependent on weight, I think you have to have it under 14 oz to ship. It is the slowest cheapest way to get something overseas. I have had to send auctions to Canada before and try an use this if I can. Normally takes 2-9 days depending on the customs people.

I have had stuff sent to me from the US with the USPS it's worked out fine to Ireland. That's close enough to you to be a fairly good sign

On average probably 10 working days. Gets passed through all sorts of places on the US side if it's not starting from near any of the bigger distribution centres so that slows it a bit... All these "handling facility" this and that bit it's been OK
