A Weighty Issue - AP Postage Costs

[campsawyer]

Yes Peter, this is interesting but let me give some of the back story of Vinces post.

As he stated, I had been shipping this over to him and during my weighing of the full boxes of Liberation it tipped the scale at 0.9 kg. as I was sending over two copies plus the shipping box, this tipped the scales at over 2kgs. Shipping international 2kgs is the break point for when shipping increases. In this example to ship the 2+kgs boxes would have cost over $60, while shipping 2 1kg boxes was only $20 each for a total of $40.

So this got me thinking about shipping and as an experiment, I weighted an extra KSF game that I have. Putting this on the scales yielded only and weight of 0.55 kg's, which I was surprised about. Unfortunately, I cannot compare counter sheet weights directly as the some of KSF counters have been punched by the postal handlers in transit, but in comparison it is interesting.

But the bigger issue, is that for a couple of games sent to England it is cheaper to send individually than to bundle them together and depending on the game one might be slightly heavier that another.
