Was wondering what is the cheapest way to ship internationally? Im looking to send 4 baits to northern Ireland and was looking for options. Any rates below $15 bucks?

It seems that sending stuff by USPS usually works out cheapest. Also, it has the best chance of getting through without incurring extra taxes for the recipient.

First Class mail will be your cheapest option. However, there' no way to track your package going that route. If you want the ability to track it, you'll have to go Priority Mail, but that will be be $20 and up for you.

To add to Aaron. I would use a box and not a bubble mailer. Lures can get roughed up on the way over... My stuff to Ireland viaq First Class USPS has been taking 2-3 weeks at this time. First Class gets bumped on planes for higher priority packages. FYI-My Priority Int takes about a week.

had load of stuff shipped to n.ireland,usps seems most popular and dont get stung with duty and handling charges
wife got 4 t shirts sent by dhl order was $95 and got hit for another£32($65) before they would deliver
most items arrive 10-12 days even rods
with price of baits over here its worth taking a chance on duty
P.S dockboylures $15 is less than i get charged shipping from england!
