Postage rates from Australia

This is the current postage rates from Australia (not cheap, I know). All prices in $US.

For up to 6 light, flat chips, postage is $8 worldwide for max weight up to 250g. This is for chips without heatsinks. NO TRACKING

UPDATE: Australia Post has combined several of its international delivery options. It is not overly cheap, but now includes tracking to most countries.

Postage costs from Australia

To Zone 6 which is most of North Western Europe - England, France, Netherlands, Norway, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland.

$23 for up to 500g
$46 for 500g to 1kg

To Zone 7 which is Eastern Europe - Poland, Greece, Finland, Austria, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine

$19 for up to 500g,
$36 for 500g to 1kg,

To Zone 1, 2 and 3 which is China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and New Zealand

$16 for up to 500g
$30 for 500g to 1kg

Sea mail is available to Zones 4, 6 and 7 and is $18 for up to 500g and $30 for 500g to 1kg and will take up to three months.

I generally won't use registered post unless a large amount of chips are being sent as it isn't worth the extra cost.

up to 500g registered is cheaper than registered up to 250g ?

They are around the same price. There is no registered post option less than $27.

I posted few chips within 100g to US by registered, also paid $27. AustPost is very expensive.
