I wonder how they came up with 453grams - doesn't seem to be much logic in that.

In Australia, it's au$9.50 for parcels over 453gms (16 ounces/1lb). It is being charged by the US government to Australia Post (and now it seems Japan and Serbia) to cover the supposed security checking now required by the US postal service. In Australia, this is being passed on to Australia Post customers, but not iof you have an Australia Post account. The resason for the latter is pretty simple. With AP charges already being through the roof, regular shippers would simply use one of the several international couriers, all of which provide far speedier services than AP and for not much more. In other words, the US government is taxing other countries for their own internal services. Pretty good trick if you can get away with it. I wonder how the US government (and MOPO members) might respond if other countries tried this ploy on the US?

From Nov.17th there is some rule that max weight of package (from Serbia to USA) must be 453 grams. So in case that weight will be over 453 grams then I must to send in more than one package. I saw that Post offices from Japan and Australia have same rule for weight of package to USA.

From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2010 4:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] No Combined Shipping??? I purchased some stills from a seller over a week or so with the intent of getting them all sent in the same package and combining shipping. They now tell me that they won't combine items that are sold on different days. So, today, I have had to made two separate payments with two separate shipping costs for 3 stills that could easily have been sent in one package. This seems to me to be incredibly inflexible but I wondered if any of you have had similar experiences. A great many of my customers take a couple of weeks or more to pay so they can pick up more items and save on postage and I dont have any problems with that.
