If you live outside Australia, I'm sure you're well aware of the exorbitant postage involved in posting internationally!

But I have figured out the most economical way for you to not get stung by the postage.

If your total package weight is under 500g, then your options for posting to the Americas are:

- Economy Air, which takes 6 business days: $17.00 AUD = $12.00 USD

- Standard, which takes 5 business days: $24.00 = $17.00 USD

- Express, which takes 4 business days: $41.35 = $30.00 USD

( I know, right. $17.00 is more than plenty to have to pay!!)

Now I know that it says "6 business days" but I'd allow up to 4 weeks ... there's been delays due to security concerns, apparently.

To help you get the best value out of your postage, I've created some birth packages that weigh very close to 499g gross weight!

Remember to let me know in a note at check out your preferences for:

- which cord tie

- which 70g tea

- which 35g tea

- which 20g tea

- which tincture

If you're ordering for your up-coming birth, to save disappointment, I suggest ordering a good SIX WEEKS prior to your EDD so that there's time for me to prepare your order (give me a good week! Sorry! One woman band here!) plus take into account the super slow post and extra security measures.
