- First, always wrap your pin(s) in a layer or two of bubble wrap, and be sure the post has a rubber back on it to prevent damage to the post or the mail man.
It is 1.64 for up to three ounces, 1.81 for 4 ounces. for Paypal/shipnow you need to select First Class Mail Parcel as the service type, and Package/Thick envelope as the package size. Also the envelope must be at least 1/2" thick - If you use a bubble envelope and wrap the pin in bubble wrap as well you will be fine.
To protect backer cards I also use a piece of cardboard slightly larger than the backer card and attach the card/pin with bubble wrap so they can't get bent as easily.
The postmaster told me today that the package has to be at least 3/4" thick in order to request DC.
Having just had to pay over $25 in customs chanrges can we also remember that if you are posting abroad not to put more than $25 value on the package and mark it a a gift!
