Default Shipping from Unites States to Japan

So I recently had an order placed for one shirt by a woman in japan. Im in Seattle and I'm not sure where exactly she is yet... still waiting on a reply. If anyone has any experience with shipping to Japan or even outside of the country, please let me know. At this point, im pretty much clueless. thx!

Why should it be so difficult? Just put it in a thick envelope check the postage put her address on and plonk it in a letter box. Make sure you get the dosh for your shirt and the postage before.

You could try:

USPS - Priority Mail International Prices

Priority Mail Small Flat-Rate Box (up to 4 pounds)
$12.95
8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8"

OR

USPS - First-Class Mail International Prices

Price depends on weight in ounces. Japan is in Group 3. Less than 12oz in a small package to Group 3 is $7.00.


If I understand correctly, the other mail carriers can be cheaper if you have volume. Maybe. I'm new to this, so others might have better advice. If you do send with USPS, make sure you buy the Delivery Confirmation also.

Hope this helps.

I go with USPS First Class for everything. Their prices are very reasonable, and shipping time isn't too long.

Priority Mail International is definitely the least expensive. You can insure it if you want and tracking information is available.
