Hi,

I'd like to know where the international scrappers are finding good postage rates for online shopping? I used to shop at Archiver's online store and was about to do another order when I found out that they changed their $75 free postage policy recently to only be valid for US buyers. I was disappointed as I would often save up and place an order to get the free postage to Australia.

Does anyone know of any good online shops that will offer set postage or otherwise to overseas buyers which is a good deal? I've just discovered blitsy.com but cannot find the particular items the YouTuber had purchased. Do they change their stock out regularly?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm not sure about international shipping prices, but I've heard good things about acherryontop.com and shipping. I've never used them though.

Have you visited scrap friends (Aussie store). I think it's called kreative koncepts now. I used to shop with them in Australia. They had all the latest and greatest at fantastic prices. It seems they've changed up a little and have a large range of mixed media/art journaling items as well. Their shipping was always a good price.

Simon Says Stamp have reasonable rates because they generally use first class mail which is cheaper. Scrapbook.com have more expensive shipping but I don't think it's as much as Archivers.

I haven't ordered from ACOT but see they only offer international priority mail on orders less than $100 then you have to pay for expedited shipping but they do seem to have deals eg 20% off shipping costs at the moment. They are advertising My US the parcel forwarding service.

I buy a lot from Papertrey Ink and the offer a $10 shipping discount on orders over $100 and $20 over $200.

The US rates went up a lot a while ago and I think it's pretty hard to get good rates anywhere
