I wonder I much would I pay for shipping of 3 boxes of 1/24 kit's from Hobby Search? Either SAL or EMS.

I don't have any ideia how much would it weight.

Have in mind i'm in Europe.

And open "EMS Rates" and "Parcel Post Rates" to compare. Don't get confused with "Economy Air [SAL] Printed Matter, " just because it says SAL.

To Europe, up to 1.5kg, EMS is cheaper, but above 1.5kg, SAL is cheaper. EMS rates go up by a smaller increment, while SAL increments by 1.0 kg, for example 1.49kg and 1.99 kg makes a difference by EMS, but it doesn't by SAL.

I think 3 kits with a packing box will exceeds 1.5kg, so SAL is cheaper, but it's only by 400 yen and 1200 yen, if it's below 2.5 kg or 3.0 kg, so it's your call.

EMS is online traceable, insured up to 20,000 yen, and much faster.
