Ok I'm just wondering if any of you have any idea on postage costs from Germany to Australia (Dyar I'm sure you will :) ) I just received an ebay invoice for I think 67 smurfs, some being sockels :hyper: anyway, and they are telling me the postage is Euro 161.03 :shock: that seems like an awful lot. Does it?

The postage should be a quarter of that Jen.....maybe half with insurance. Can you tell me who the seller is?

I received about 300 smurfs in the latest package including the big Digger and I paid 93 euros with insurance via airmail that takes about a week to arrive. Please tell me who the seller is as they are way out of line charging those prices.

Hmmm I thought so. I'm not sure if that includes insurance but I sent them an email asking exactly what the 161euros was for. I haven't heard back yet.

Definately too much!!! I buy from Germany all the time and a little while ago I bought the windmill and the farmhouse and that paggage had a postage of 25 euros, without insurence and by land. :eek:

Hi Jen

Thanks for letting me know who the seller was. I have removed the name because I am still dealing with that seller and can't afford any problems but I can assure you that the total is incorrect and by a long way. You should write to the seller and just ask them to check the postage costs as you think it is way higher than what you think it should be. If you can, find out the weight of the package and I should be able to find out the correct postage price for you.

Good luck

Dyar

They've made a mistake, maybe they meant 16.10 euros?

I am sure I sent Anette about 100 smurfs and it was less than 2kgs. 2kgs from UK to Australia is only approximately £20.00 so there is a definite genuine error there as far as I can see.

Ok sorry guys and gals, I was a little confused.
There were 2 invoices and in one of them, the postage was the postage plus the cost of the first invoice :sillyme: so the postage was only Euro 13. Thanks for your help and sorry for the confusion :)
