    Hey all, question here. Has something drastically changed for international shipping from US in the last handful of months?
    I cant pay the shipping charges to order from PBL or Marco for the most part, its quite absurd in pricing. So i have had a handful of parts sent to a fantastic pinsider in Minot, and he forwards or repackages for me and mails it to me. I pay him.

    Recently the prices have skyrocketed and that's not really possible anymore. He went to forward a 4lb box to me just north of him yesterday and it was $55 to mail it to me. That's nuts, he was forwarding multiple boxes (larger) than this in the past couple years and it hardly got to the $55 pricetag.

    Had the US changed something? OR is it my fuckin Turdeau gov't that's taking money from USPS on the way in?

    Thx in advance if you know something.... Kevin.

    I haven't shipped anything intl, but even within the US shipping has rocketed. I was looking to ship some board games a couple months apart and the shipping quote nearly doubled.

    All shipping is nuts right now. Container shipping is the worst and it's dragging everything else UP in price. Pandemic screwed up typical shipping scenarios and containers aren't where they need to be, and there's still lots of the workforce off for Covid reasons. Hopefully everything starts to sort itself out over the summer.
