Who knew it would be so outrageously high? I guess I should have known though as the cost is determined by weight, and Pyrex weighs a ton! Even the smallest 401 mixing bowl is over 500 gram (nearly 1 1/2 lbs), which puts it at $9 for shipping to the United States and depending on destination, between $16 and $19 to other countries. For Canada it would probably be at least $10 (I don't know why it's cheaper to ship to the US than right here within our own country), although that would vary by province. And since I don't like paying a lot for shipping myself, I certainly wouldn't blame buyers for balking at paying a certain amount for their purchase. Lucky then I guess that I've decided to keep most of my Pyrex and am now starting to limit what I buy. No, I think I'm going to have to stick to items that weigh less. Like Melmac! :)

Wow, I was wrong with the prices I quoted! It would be $9 for UP to 500 gram, which means that it would cost $14.29 to ship to the US by air. And that my friends, would push it to over $30 to international destinations. So maybe I need to ship by Small Packet Surface instead? Would take longer (12 days US and 4-6 weeks overseas), but it would be cheaper.
