Not that too many people are going to ship this much, but I just got a great bargain from the USPS. I just shipped off 16.5 lbs of dice (7.5Kg) for only $7.70 using the flat-rate Priority Mail boxes. That would have cost $25 for normal parcel post. Using the flat-rate envelopes is a great deal when shipping. You can fit about 60-100 dice in one (depends on mix of commons/uncommons/etc).

P.S. Joe don't hurt yourself picking up that box!

Chuck,
Can you confirm what the "International" flat rate envelope can hold and the cost to Europe.
Thanks

Global Priority Mail flat-rate envelope costs $9.00 to send to Europe. Depending on how it's packed and the size of the dice, it can hold from 60 to 100 dice. I always pack into a padded envelope, and then put that into the flat-rate envelope. I can get one of my "complete sets" into there along with a few more. That's 50 commons, 25 uncommons, 10 rares, and 5 monsters for a total of 90 dice.

Weight limit is 4 pounds (1.8Kg). But I've always found than the volume available fills long before you hit the weight limit. That's why I didn't mention it.
