Yeah if you get china, use alibaba. It was about 18 bucks Canadian for me, whereas shipping was >100 for the same game.
Freefallingheather
Hoooooolly macaroni!!! Yeah my secret Santa is in USA, I should keep it light then x

Is there not a way to dropship the gift directly, or have a delivery service get it for you? Then mail the card separately.
mascaralvb
oh shit, my secret santa is in finland

Use a british VPN and buy from uk stores, Betternet VPN on the google app store lets you select UK.
Imissusememessometimes
Shite I want to send different kinds of delicious biscuits which will be heavy, looks like mines getting them one biscuit at a time
Lokicleo
Fuck.what
Kilo11
+1 for not saying fuck that and still going through with it
NotShibaNoSir
Search around a bit for other shipping options. I can't speak for the U.K. but in Japan sometimes you can send things by boat for 1/4 the...
NotShibaNoSir
...price of air shipping. It will just take a month or so to arrive. Better late than breaking the bank?
GraniteIvy
Yup. Buying stuff online and getting it shipped to the UK is a colossal pain in the arse.
GraniteIvy
And if it's over $35 dollars, I usually won't bother, as it then attracts import duties that adds even more.
dudefromFinland
Same here, need to ship to USA tho its only half what you have to pay, still gunna deliver :D
Beatdrums
lmfao duuuuuude hahahaha that gif is perfect. But seriously, way to be a good dude and go through with it.
larrygogo
Not sure if it's an option for you but you can order from amazon UK
andiesex
True. I wanted to try to send American foods and gifts. You know twinkies and stuff :-p and a postcard from Nebraska.
TalkingDustBunny
Ship it USPS, it's a little cheaper!!! That's what I have to do for my Australia SS. It's about $34 for a smallish box....Still not cheap.
Spunkdust
YAS!!! In the same boat BUT i found a company that'll do up to 5kg for £36 so whoever my secret santa is, expect a box of pure scottish air
Spunkdust
Actually not in the same boat at all because i misread your title so yeah......
BritishBatman
What the hell are you sending?
andiesex
I guestimated about 5lbs.
BritishBatman
please be sugar free gummy bears
andiesex
lol I wouldn't wish that hell upon anyone.
Frangoilmagnifico
Oh dang, I have an international one too. Where are you shipping from? I'm working on the gift now.
Frangoilmagnifico
I found that USPS does flat rate packages for 24$ and up. If you're in the US, go with them! UPS was the only one I found that was $100+
AliBarber
How much is US$113 in real money? Like £24 and a few pence?
andiesex
Give or take 89£
AliBarber
As you appear to be unfamiliar with sarcasm I will now close the cash register.
DaleGribble88
A little over a hundred pounds

FifteenthDoctor
A little under now
Andilee
Ship a lb per box. That's the cheapest and easiest way. Cost me 60$ to shop three lbs and it was just pop tarts last year :(
tinycupcakes
I sent mine from Finland to US and the shipping was more expensive than the content. :( But still--totally worth it...
DarthNikko
Haha, same here! Just came back from Posti, I had as much shipping as the whole thing cost ^^
BeckytheIceboxOShea
@tinycupcakes I'm doing the exact opposite and I'm afraid of how much it's coming to come out to!
PunAndRun
You're from Finland?? Could I ask you a couple questions? I'm from the US and Secret Santa-ing someone in Finland. Could I PM you?
tinycupcakes
Sure, you can ask me anything :) might not be able to help, but I'll try
whopper68
I know the feels, but so be it, i volunteered.

How do I sign up this year? I can't find anything :(
thisiswhyidrink
Keep an eye out for the "not revived" posts. They always look for backup gift gives to make up for shitty people. This is my first year.

Sad about missing Secret Santa? http://iob.imgur.com/uYGg/uOD8XMigLy

There is a post on #secretsanta here that someone is setting up a swap for peeps like you ...

It's too late now, but you could always message someone else who's commenting that they would like to participate.

Where is it? Link or username would be fantastic
anon311919
I've done it the last two years when I was next to homeless and was excited to do it with extra $$ this year.
Kessalia19
I didn't even think about shipping when I ok'd it. I didn't have much to spend in the first place! Postage was 1/4 of the cost of the thing!
WateryTartan
This year's Secret Santa is gonna be a clusterfuck in so many ways.
catsies
Your secret Santa will probs have to pay on this side to get it out of customs
Allthegoodonesaretsken
USPS has some cheaper shipping options. If you send it first class international under 4 lbs it should be under $30.
Allthegoodonesaretsken
I ship a lot, if you need any help lemme know. Happy holidays and you're a goodie for still doing it!
fishermanfritz
Well from Germany to USA it's 16€ for 2kg via DHL. I hope you'll find another offer in that range with some research :)
niveusbear
I paid $35USD to ship a 3lb box from Seattle to Germany via the postal system. Maybe I should have checked DHL!
TheQueenIsNotAmused
You can get it cheaper with Großbrief International. Ca. 8 Euro including insurance and up to 2 kg.
fishermanfritz
Wo kauf ich denn das? Bei der Post? Danke
TheQueenIsNotAmused
Ja, bei der Post. Ohne Versicherung ist es noch billiger, aber ohne Sendungsnummer. Hab mein Geschenk letztes Jahr so in die USA geschickt.
ELKronos
I told you a 200lb jar of sperm is going to be expensive to mail, not matter where you send it.
andiesex
I'm a lady :-/
AndTHATShowwegetANTS
Have you tried the USPS? They have better international rates for the most part...
andiesex
The rates I was quoting were UPS I'll look into USPS. I feel silly I had assumed that United States ps only delivered within US lol
AndTHATShowwegetANTS
If you don't ship internationally, you wouldn't know. That's why you help people out! Should be at least half that. Good luck!
mysticarchives
Georgia, USA to Vantaa, Finland was $90 for 17 lbs. I feel like a lazy ass for not wrapping anything, but it was all coordinated from work
BubbaRunski
Expensive and really rough on your jaw then
TehStoner

XiYen13
Damn, you must have been harvesting that bro for months now.
andiesex
Time and patience my friend.

And hydration.
pfrcks
You can try to purchase something from the UK version of Amazon. That's what I do when I get an international match ;)
6pakki
thats what I did.

davesrandomstuff
Great idea.
Mayoyo09
Thank you- I read this then looked up shipping costs(Japan to USA). It would have cost me over $100 to send stuffs :/ American Prime FTW!
Mockith
Also what I did.
BritishCanadianinTexas
I ordered from etsy in their country and spent $3 on shpping vs $33. Just had it sent straight to them but no wrapping. Oh well.
andiesex
Hindsight is 20/20. I could just eat the garbage I bought and regift the gifts lol. I wanted to send American snacks & a Nebraska postcard!
ForSomeAbstractReason
You sending via USPS? Priority via OH to UK is costing me $34 for a small box
Deioyeah
This! Make sure to declare it as a gift (very important). Medium box is 66. On custom form don't write the value unless youll get insurance.
tacopartyinyourmouth
Hello fellow Nebraskan! I also am doing international but mine is i. Canada
laufox
You guys are awesome!!
Ohwhaleman
Nebraska postcard? So chimney rock, random sunset, or memorial stadium?
Interex
As a nebraskan, the biggest joke is the welcome sign here "the good life"
andiesex
I love Nebraska :-)
EatMintsForBreakfast
Me too! I always thought "The Good Life" was rather fitting.
Interex
Sending my international a jar of nebraska air for a joke :D
somethingnotyettaken
Try breaking it up into several smaller packages. Often packages over a certain weight (from the UK to US it's 2kg / 4.4lbs) go with a 1/..
somethingnotyettaken
different carrier, and it's way more expensive. Sending 2 small packages costs 1/3rd as much as 1 heavy one.
andiesex
Perfect! I estimated my weight at 5lbs that's probably my issue
somethingnotyettaken
Hopefully so. When I send a 2kg parcel, it costs about £65 (!), but 1kg parcels are only £17 or so. I'm always damn careful to weigh them
ideologist
Shipping expert here, PM me so I can help you get it over there for WAY LESS
Mediator92
Commenting for when I'm not on mobile and can PM- gotta get a package to Germany from New York, hopefully cheaply!
andiesex
You da best will do when I'm at a desktop. Kinda behind the times on figuring out mobile.
uberarticuno
As a brit who has now married an American, that's a friggin awesome gift. American snacks are super different to ours and all awesome!
shbk
That's cuz there are no PMs on mobile bro
canadianRN
There is on beta!
