New Simple Export Rate @ PirateShip.com

If you need to mail anything to outside the USA you might want to check the PirateShip.com website. They offer the cheapest shipping costs via the USPS without any monthly membership/subscription costs like Stamps.com. They now have a new SIMPLE EXPORT RATE for shipping small packages that weigh less than 4 pounds to Canada or anywhere else in the world.

Here's some comparison prices for shipments to Canada using PirateShip vs retail rates at the Post Office:

0-8 ounces = $ 7.95 vs $10.50 at the counter
8-16 ounces = $ 9.95 vs $17.25 at the counter
1-2 pounds = $12.95 vs $17.25 at the counter
2-3 pounds = $16.95 vs $26.25 at the counter
3-4 pounds = $23.95 vs $39.00 at the counter

And here's comparison prices for shipments to France which I would assume should give a decent example for most foreign packages:

0-8 ounces = $ 9.95 vs $14.25 at the counter
9-16 ounces = $15.95 vs $24.00 at the counter
1-2 pounds = $17.95 vs $24.00 at the counter
2-3 pounds = $23.95 vs $37.50 at the counter
3-4 pounds = $35.95 vs $61.00 at the counter

Shipments are supposed to be delivered in 1-3 weeks with tracking included.
