What's the cost to mail it to the US?

fishlifter October 2 2005, 13:21:01 UTC

Email, I said. Email... But I can't fault the quick response!

It's six pounds or eleven dollars for airmail postage to the US; I've sent you an email with details of the various ways to pay which aren't posted here 'cos I didn't want to put them in a public post.

And maybe you didn't email because your email doesn't work. Or maybe that's me. Oops. Trying alternative email address now...

Is that printed papers rate?

I don't post as much to America as I used to, but £6 feels a little on the high side for my guesstimated weight of 68 A4 pages.

Yep, just checked. You're quoting standard airmail instead of airmail printed papers. Printed papers are just as fast and cost half as much. All you have to do is write 'printed papers' on the envelope, stick on the usual air mail sticker, and fill in a customs slip saying 'book' and for some strange reason you pay half as much. I've mailed zines for years that way.

Well, I picked up my copy in Glasgow, and that cost a lot more than eleven dollars, even if you amortize the airfare over all the other zines and books I got. Not that I'm complaining. It's a good zine.

One LJ posting per year? That's not too many.

it's weird, I keep coming across people here I think I know... 'fishlifter' rang lots of bells from a long time ago in Croydon/London/a pub in Cambridge on a rainy day/Hyde park on a very hot day, seen through the bottom of a bottle of Steamer.

Then again, I may never, ever have met you... I knew Jim, and Meike, and I love RobTheFish/BusStop....

Umm, yeah, it's entirely possible we've met. But just had a look at your journal and I'm afraid I can't work out who you are...

(Sorry for not noticing the comment earlier. As you may have gathered, we don't post all that much.)
