In response to the United States Postal Service decision to eliminate the small international shipping envelope on May 14, we recognize that most sellers will select the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope for international shipment of VHS (and other) products. Accordingly, we will increase shipping credits for VHS International from $6.89 to $12.29 as of May 23 at 11pm Pacific.

The Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope costs $9 to Canada and Mexico, and $11 to all other countries served. Dimensions are 9.5" x 12.5". Maximum weight is 4 pounds. More information can be found via the USPS.gov site at:
