It all depends on how the person packs it...
If they place it in one of the envelopes (LARGE) if it will fit should be 9 USD
If they go with a regular box @ 2LBS it would be
13.30 USD but must meet certain dimensions..

I have shipped stuff to UK a couple of times to buster_broon, Rugal2000, ect. Shipping is so high, even it I ship in a small box. Air mail was like $20 to $25, while EMS was $25 to $30. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

never pay more than $18 for airmail. if you do your getting ripped off. one time i bought the game and refused to pay the ridiculous shipping charge so he sent me a NPB warning. i sent an email to ebayand they removed itfor me saying the seller was out of order.

It can also depend whether you are dealing with a business of a single dude

I found out from Jeff that in the states concessions are given to businesses it they use usps alot

Which i feel is unfair

Normally

airmail with insurance: 12 - 16usd
ems with insurance 25 - 35usd

My personal favourite is usps global priority, i believe its faster than ems and its 15-21usd

When I send something overseas,I always mark it as 'GIFT' and/or give
low value' so that the recipient does'nt have to pay the fees which are totally rediculous IMO...
Again,you must meet certain container size dimensions to get the prices I quoted you for a 2LB package..
The max length of the box should be no more than 10 inches long. The area around the box (width/height X 2) should be no more than 24 inches in measurement when sending an AES cartridge..
Anything above those container dimensions and weight jacks the price UP a great deal...
