Just made some enquiries at the post office. If I send it express post international with insurance and tracking to BGS. Firstly I can only insure it for 500 bucks and secondly It will cost $120 + the cost of grading.
I admit I need to read the T's and C's from the Beckett website more carefully. But how does the return postage work?. Do I need to organise it from my end before I send the card?
so at a glance, I'd say 2 day processing fee $30, $55 Express post, $10-25 additional insurance, and the return shipping is $60 for up to 20 graded cards.
So you're looking at: $145-$170
but the more cards you grade, the better it looks cos you're only paying one batch of shipping costs.
