I have only had baaad experiences shipping from canada to the uk. In fact whatever the us postal website says it will cost to ship it double it. Recently it cost me 15.00 to ship a bottle of bpal to the uk when the website (canada post mind you) told me it would be 7.00

Wow! That's shocking! I've sent 5 international packages including 2 to the UK with 5-10 imps, tea, and candy, and it cost me under $3 a package. I wonder why it's so much from Canada?

I ship overseas all the time Lynn. To Canada from South Florida costs me .63 cents and overseas ranges from .63 cents to 2.20 at most (and I believe that was to Switzerland). It only takes a week to get there. Lemme pull my postal receipts and I will confirm the rates. These were 3 imps or less not bottles.

I am trying to make this community fun!!

Also, I just this one today: http://community.livejournal.com/sinandsalvation/profile

and I have high hopes that this will be very similar to Alchemy Lab. There layout looks great and they have everything well thought out!!

I actually have been selling off a ton of my imps.

Ok, I am in South Florida - this just gives you ballpark range...

To Sweden : 1.70 (weight 1.20oz)
Canada .63 (weight .80 oz)
Netherlands : 2.55 (weight 2.20 oz)
Great Britain/Northern Ireland (which I believe is the UK) : .84 (weight .90oz)
Australia: 1.80 (weight 1.30oz)
Great Britain: 1.70 (weight 1.20 oz)
Belgium: 1.70 (weight 1.50)

Hope that helps a little.

u da bombshell. you ever insure?

caitygrl96 June 1 2006, 02:03:13 UTC

No, I haven't. It is expensive to insure it. I take my chances or you can offer it to the buyer if they would like to purchase insurance. Make sure to fill out a customs form and keep your postal receipt until they receive the pkg on their end. That way you have proof it was sent.

Ooh, where in SFL are you? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale!

Most of the packages I've sent to the UK have cost between $1 and $2 to ship (from Illinois).

artemisia_mia June 1 2006, 01:55:33 UTC

thank you kindly. this is my first, b'lieve it or not. i usually just say no, but i do want to sell this bottle, so i'll venture out into the 95 degree heat, 95% humidity.

Remember to put "essential oil" instead of perfume in the customs form or they might not accept it (as perfume usually contains alcohol and this can't be shipped) If you declare a value higher than $20 they more likely will have to pay customs. This is the real market value of the goods, so many people consider this $0 if the item has been used.
