Shipping cost quotes and actual charges by backcountrygear.com do NOT include any Import Duties, Value Added Taxes (VAT) and Customs Clearance Fees. USPS Rates USPS shipping costs are determined by weight. Total the weight of all items you would like to order, add 1.0 lbs for a box and packaging and then multiply by 1.3 to get the estimated package weight. This will more likely reflect the actual weight of the package and will be a better estimate of shipping cost. The shipping costs are then calculated using a shipping calculator at the USPS website (http://ircalc.usps.gov/). Step 1) Total the weight for all items in your order. Step 2) (1.3) X (Total Weight of Items + 1.0 lb) = Package Weight Step 3) Go to USPS shipping calculator Step 4) Select Destination Country Step 5) Select A Package Step 6) Enter Package Weight (Round up) Step 7) Find Express Mail International Online Price. This is your estimate.

UPS Rates UPS shipping charges are calculated differently, using both size and weight (called dimensional weight). It's very difficult to project shipping costs until the order is boxed up, weighed, and measured. UPS will always cost more than USPS. We will NOT provide quotes for UPS costs unless you place an order. Exact shipping quotes are sent out as soon as the order is ready. We do NOT ship your order or charge your credit card until you have approved the shipping costs.
