Selling a Capcom CPS2 arcade board on ebay. How much would it cost to ship one of those to Brazil?

Thanks in advance my friends.

A lot.

It's classed as World Zone 2 for Airmail etc, but you can only send Airmail up to 2KG.. and im guessing that your CPS2 weighs much more than that..

So your looking at International Standard with Royal Mail.. this is the cheapest with them for heavy parcels, however its not trackable and only insured up to ?32.. it costs a lot more for tracking, something like Datapost will set you back a lot..

If you get a weight, even if its only a weight on your bathroom scales, and put that into the postage calculator on royalmail.com it will give you a good idea of what its going to cost.. then add on some to offset your paypal fees, AFAIK the fees are higher for receiving payments from buyers abroad, its called a "cross-border fee".

Not to go undermining my employers but a private courier with worldwide operations like FedEx or UPS will probably be a lot cheaper, and claiming compensation if something went wrong can't be any harder than with Royal Mail (if anything it would probably be easier). You'll also get the benefit of worldwide online tracking, whereas Royal Mail can't trace stuff once it leaves the UK. as it's no longer in their care.
