UBB.threads Forums General Interest Community Center Shipping to Russia help..

Can anyone tell me the way to ship to Russia (1 lb) small box cost. I see USPS at about $25 ,UPS a whopping $150 It seems incredible the difference.Do they have customs rules too. Its a small box of old dagger parts only. Thanks all ahead , T

Hey , thanks for the advise. and as usual glad to be here.

Are you a very religious man?!
I've been sending back and forth to East Europe [Poland, Ukraine] for over 10 years. Many times to Russia too. It's hit or miss. Best way I'd say is U.S. postal Global Priority. Get every bell and whistle they'll let you have on it.. I remember one time years ago they wouldn't even let you sent Global Priority to Moscow! So it really is hit or miss ..

I wouldn't use UPS, or other outfits like that. They are more prone to mess with them knowing that they are privately owned.
*U.S. postal Global Priority*,,,, not saying its the be all end all for safety, because if they want to open it there is nothing that will or can stop them.. I've had the best luck with them that's all.

Thanks Gaspare, you are the blood of the turnip, Thanks again for taking time to respond to my most difficult quest. Seems no one else could answer this tough question, now I know some ONE who has the smarts in this clique, I mean site. T
