This is how much it would cost me, and individual, to ship something. Who knows... maybe HobbyPro gets discounts; but it could cost much more.
It's on the USPS website. You can send up to 4 pounds for $16.95. It's no magic discount. Go try it. No need for insurance with eBay and PayPal buyer protection these days. Australians by law don't have to pay for something if it doesn't arrive.
