International shipping costs

[RC-Monster Mike]

We can do small shipments via 1st class mail - usually $10 or less for small packages(few pinions for example). The customer in these cases agrees to accept responsibility for lost packages. Years ago I offered this through the store and got burned....badly! Everyone wants low cost shipping of course, but when a package gets lost we end up losing when the transaction is disputed. If the site shopping cart allowed us to put a maximum value on the low cost shipping we would do it, but we used to get $500+ orders asking for 1st class mail shipping - this is way to risky for us and I would rather lose the sale then make the sale initially and lose the product and the money when it gets lost and disputed. :)
