We charge $40 for shipping via Priority Mail International.
Other shipping methods can be used if you prefer, but you must arrange this with us prior to placing your order. If you live in a country where mail delivery
of packages through your postal service is unreliable, we should arrange for a more secure method of shipping. Please let us know before placing your order if you are concerned.
