TNT, $39.61 7 days
DPD. (Shipito Preferred) $28.68 7- 9 days
FedEx $50.41 7-9 days
USPS $81.93 3-7 days
Airmail Economy $9.77 45 days!!!!
USPS $61.54 6-10 days
USPS 1st Class $30.99 varies-slow.
FedEx Economy $47.84 7-10 days.
The only cheap one takes up to 45 days....Nope, not a chance. I could be dead by the time it got here! Add the $2.00 handling fee and choosing the DPD option it came to $30.68 or in proper money, £25.38.
So about $10.00 more expensive than Diabolik posting fees and no insurance as was marked down to $20.00 value. For all four films delivered it works out to £105.38, about £26.50 per film. I'm not really complaining as it appears that Diabolik and SAE are not going to get these at least in the short term and FleaBay will charge a lot more, just letting you all know the price costs if you are thinking of going this route. |
I just had my package sent from Shipito and the Airmail rate was the same, and it lists the same wait time. I can however say, that I have never had to wait much longer than a week with my previous orders though. I wonder if that wait time is for insurance purposes, so people can't put claims for loss in until after the 45 days. Attached the rate list it gave me for my order.
