This sounds a really stupid question and I have got it the right way around.
I am trying to buy a small 3" x 3" decal off a guy on ebay, the postage should be minimal but when I asked him to give me an idea of cost I received:
Thanks for the question. I can send them but I'm not exactly sure what the postage should be. I have shipped to the netherlands and i think it was about $7.95 shipping. That is a bit much i think, but i havent found any other way to ship to make the postage cheaper because i only get a few options when i go to create a shipping label. Honestly, the other person ordered several things because the postage was so expensive because the actual decals dont weigh very much. It must be mostly the jurney rather than actual weight that cost so much. Sorry i cant give you a more defined answer.
Please let me know if there is any other questions for if i may be able to do something else for you.
Thanks again for the question.
The guy will be posting it from Waldorf, Maryland, United States, any ideas what would be the best way of getting this to me? Not sure how you classify your postage rates etc.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'm in Canada and shipments I have received from the US have been least expensive and fastest when shipped by US Postal Service.
Maybe you can find rates on their site?

If it's just a decal, why couldn't he send it in a letter?? That's gotta be under $2...

I have friends in the UK. It would fit in an envelope for under a $1 US.

Cheers all, precisely the kind of answers I was after.
Now I can bombard this simpleton with a few facts about the US postal system.
BIG thanks.
