I have not sold anything international in a while. I've been on and off eBay for many years and when I restarted again for this last go through I had limited stuff so just kept it domestic, it was going to sell anyway. So now that things are continuing to move along, I'm going to start allowing international orders again.
For now, most of my stuff fits into #000 to #10 bubble envelopes, with, let's say, most of it being in #2 bubble envelopes. Usually it's not over 16 ounces. The items are not documents, but small clothing, small electronics, etc.
So I mocked up something on usps.com (2 ounces to the UK) and the choices seemed ambiguous as to which envelope/package size to pick and so I got rates from I think it was $2.32 to $13.50. I mocked it up on eBay too and did get much other clarify. I then looked at the postal rate document and well maybe I'm just dense as I got confused (years since I looked at that as well).
So I brought it to two post offices and they told me two different things. One insisted since it was not a normal letter envelope and furthermore than it wasn't about documents that the lowest it could be is $13.50. Brought it to another post office and they said "it depends" rambled a bunch of stuff and I figured I'm not going to get clarity here, so I left.
So, what would First Class International to the from NYC to the UK be for say a #2 bubble envelope containing 2 ounces of something, let's say a makeup brush? TIA.
