[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4924142, member: 98035"]Hello, I have a lot of experience finding the best ways to ship coins internationally, but I'm struggling to find the right option for this one. I'm shipping a package of ancient coins that weighs about 1.5 pounds and is worth $1k+ from the US to Australia. Seller paid $25 in shipping. Obviously firing it off via uninsured International Mail isn't a good idea. Ebay offers an international service, but they only offer ShipCover, which I have heard won't cover coins of any sort. Fed Ex's website quoted me $150 to ship it. Right now, it looks like my best option is to split it between about 4 smaller packages and hope that they all make it. I know that I've gotten packages from multiple auction firms that are both heavier and more valuable - how are they shipping these things internationally for $20-30?[/QUOTE]
