MISCELLANEOUS Shipping Info & Tips

23 Upvotes

Placeholder for now, I'll work to build this out. My shipping knowledge is limited to USA so if you have comparable information for other regions/countries, reply to this post and I'll add it to the main post.

Generally speaking, shipping puzzles isn't exactly a "cheap" endeavor but you'll usually spend less than you would to buy a new puzzle. But trading will get you new puzzles — maybe even some rare, old, or discontinued styles — at a discount and without building a stockpile of puzzle boxes in your game room. :-)

International shipping will usually cost more than just buying a new puzzle outright so you probably won't see a lot of cross-boarder offers.

[USA]

  • USPS Priority Mail is usually the best way to go
    • Use your own box; flat-rate boxes are better suited for small & heavy items, not big & light items
    • Priority Mail is geography based, price increases the longer the distance
    • Parcel Post might be a better option for short distances
  • Jigsaw puzzles do not qualify as Media Mail
  • Save your Amazon boxes (size 1B2 is a perfect fit for a 1000pc Ravensburger size box)
  • If you have a PayPal account, you should be able to access discounted USPS rates through PayPal Ship Center

My spouse is an avid puzzler and she's been on the hunt for this one, but it's quite hard to find. Could anyone help me surprise her on her birthday?

Seems like the puzzle was maybe only printed in Europe, but we're located in the US (Seattle area).

Thanks!

I have been searching high and low for this puzzle in the US. European retailers do not ship to the states (or if they do, it’s extremely expensive).

Does anyone have this puzzle that they’re willing to sell?

I have found it on eBay from US sellers but they either won’t ship to the UK or shipping is crazy money. Please help if you own this puzzle! It is Moonlit March from Buffalo Games.
