I am willing to ship anywhere in the world. Due to the recent huge increase in US Postal International rates, I've had to more than double shipping charges. Most of this is due to the fact that I use a cardboard stiffener to prevent bending during shipping. A stiff package must be hand sorted, rather than machine sorted. This puts the item in a nearly 3x higher shipping rate category. If you would like me to remove the stiffener and add a more flexible protector, I can discount international shipping, but you will have to state that for my protection. I will do my best, but this will cause your package to be not as safe going through the mail system. You will have to waive the extra protection via ebay contact buyer form.
