And what are the dimensions of that flat rate box? I've been buying from the US for nearly 20yrs now and sending there for just over half that time so i've gotten used to the prices. The problem is, over the last 4/5yrs or so the cost from the US to AUS has gotten more expensive and is actually more expensive to send from there to here compared to vice versa. It was never like that.

Here, if one person can lift the box comfortably then the size of the box makes no difference, you pay according to weight and it jumps up in 0.5kg increments (approx. 1lbs). If you're sending from there to here, and not using a flat rate box, the price, in my experience, varies WILDY.

My concern with joining this swap is not how much it will cost me to send there (i'll make something that i know won't cost me an excessive amount to send), rather, how much it might end up costing me my swap partner.
