hendrikdejager Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A friend of mine needs to send me something from the USA, it is about 1500 grams with a value of $600. I can't find the costs of shipping incl. insurance for this, could someone from the USA perhaps help me out? What would the costs be for: Package ~1500grams, $600 value, insured to The Netherlands. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minicoopers11 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 $35.66 to send via USPS Priority. $45.77 to send via USPS Priority Express. Print label via Paypal. Unless you need it really fast, there's no reason to choose Express. Value is too high to use First Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you need it really fast, there's no reason to choose Express. Value is too high to use First Class. How much faster is Express? I actually could use it ASAP.

Bernard74 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 That sounds plausible for shipping, but bear in mind that an item worth $600 may also be subject to import duties and value added tax (BTW).http://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/belastingdienst/prive/douane/goederen_ontvangen_uit_het_buitenland/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
