I have been always subscribing to BusyBeaks for updates in their collection of toys. It seemed that they have a wider range n more plastic kind of toys. As you know, plastic has brighter colours and last longer for itch beaks. Plus, they have more sort of intelligent toys.

Ok, this is what happen.

Hi there,I'm from Singapore and would like to buy the fanciful toys from BusyBeaks. However, upon payment, there's no charges to shipping cost. I am sure they will be charged. Do you have a rough range for me to follow?

Thanks
Natalie

Their reply:
Yes, we ship via the postal service to Singapore so you can go to http://www.usps.com and check rates from the U.S. to Singapore. We charge actual cost.

Thanks for asking!

I received their bill inclusive of shipping cost. A total of ~35USD for 3 toys x_X. But i like those toys. So i send them another email.

My message:
Hi,I understand that shipping content has a weight range that falls within a price. Kindly let me know if i can add on somemore toys to that shipping so as to maximise it? Please advise.
Natalie

Their reply:
As stated on our website, all International orders are shipped at actual cost ... we use the postal service and for estimates on costs, you can go to www.usps.com

Are they dumb or what???????? If i can find it easily at usps.com, would i need to keep asking??? Beside they are the ones doing business!!!! They are doing frequent shipping so should be more familiar with the range of weight and cost, right? Every question posted about shipping, they push it to the usps.com. Then why have the tab of 'Contact us' in their website?? Kaoz!!! In the end, i cancelled the order.

I sticked back to my regular stall for bird toys. Beakapoo.com! Yea, my bird friends all knew i always buy from there. The only disadvantage about beakapoo is that they do not have many intelligent toys for birds.

Let you guys see how nice Rhonda is.

As i am always concerned about shipping charges, i probe again.

My message:
Hi Rhonda,Thanks for yr prompt reply.
Can i check if i have maximise the shipping cost?

Regards
Natalie

Her reply:
Hi Natalie you are right at a pound so anything extra will take it into another shipping range. If you went over a pound up to 1.8 oz your shipping cost would be 14.75
2 pounds is 18.00
and 2.8 pounds is 22.25
This is just shipping doesn't include transaction fees with would vary according to cost of toys and shipping together.
Hope this helps.

Rhonda
