Well, think these sellers are not finns...;-
You can see the letter taxes in EUR from;
http://www.posti.fi/english/tariffsandrates/tariffsandratesforconsumers/
1:st class letter up to 1000 grams to US 13.60 EUR = 17.75 USD for example.
The price for parcels can be counted on (at the moment only in finnish);
http://suomenposti.palvelukeskus.net/data/versiomaat/dId4PZlNmzVW.html
just type the dimensions and the weight of the parcell, marke the method
of shipping (EMS, priority or economy < surface mail) and click "laske" (count)
1000 grams as a priority-parcell (20 x 20 x 20 cm) makes 33.70 EUR,
so it�s usually much cheaper to send items up to 2000 grams as a letter, the only
limitation is, the thickness of the letter can be maximum 30 mm.
500 grams as a priority-letter makes 7.60 EUR to US, as a parcell (5 x 10 x 20 cm)
the same costs 29.10 EUR...;-
best,

Hello Everyone,
I have seen several meteorite auctions which list shipping charges from Finland as being $30.00 - $35.00 (USD). My question is, particularly for those list members who happen to live in Finland, does it really cost that much to send a 500-700 gram package from Finland to the US?
