Wondering how much to charge for shipping - US to UK

[Elvisluvs]

Hi everyone. I am finally about to start selling some records again - just wondering what most folks are paying for a 45 shipped from the states - thanks. 

Ps- I missed the love here

A typical parcel from US to UK would be around $14 (that was a thick one - about 30mm - with lots of packing).
Can't find on now, but a thinner parcel is a bit less.

Sellers generally charge $12 - $15, which lines up with above, plus a little for the package.

Cheers
Mick

You can always got to www.usps.com- enter package size and weight and get an exact postage charge.

most of em except the main dealers are way over the odds $22 to 27 for 7 or 12 then it arrives and its knackered and tooooo expensive to send back steer clear unless they are reputed sellers

Thanks everyone. What time do most folks bid up until on Sunday nights ?

I have always found that this depended on the date. if it is the first sunday of the month or that last sunday just before the end of the month you have a good chance of getting more money.

I have just ordered 2 records on discogs and the seller quoted $13.50 U.S. for one 45 , but has allowed the same for two 45,s in the same mailer

so I agree with the generality of up to$15 U S quoted earlier, but it can also depend on the number of records in the parcel too

People here in the UK tend to bid up until about  MIDNIGHT to 1 AM GMT or BST at the latest , with weekends being busier for obvious reasons

so in the USA thats going to be afternoon or evening due to timezones , so right about now in fact

As long as finishing time is before their bedtime (remembering that they have to be up for work on the Monday morning, but also depends on how desperate they are to get their hands on a particular record).

Why don't we go the whole hog and give him our pin numbers??
