I am a seller on eBay and have always wondered how some people can have such low shipping on smaller products like DVDs and BlueRays for example.  I use the Shipping Calculator and I always end up with 10.00 - 15.00 shipping with expedient?  Do I sacrifice speed of shipping for lower price?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

dmil is almost right. Most of his advice is very good, but Letter/Light Packet is not insured and seller's should be ready to add a few pennies to offset the very occasional loss or claim of loss.

US sellers of movies cannot* charge more than $4 including insurance to their customers. Canada Post will ship a 200 gram/2cm thick envelope to anywhere in the USA for $3.70.which allows us 30 cents for packaging and self-insurance.

 

 

 

 

 

*This is of course an over-simplification.
