200 rub/month = 7 USD per month.
On
Shipito I pay $50/year, $2 for consolidated package, $8.5 for mailing out my package. I fill in my account via credit card or paypal (they charge 4.13%) for the operation.
5 kg ~ 12 pounds
1400 Russian rubles ~ 49 USD
According to USPS Postage Price Calculator
you should have paid at least $80 to USPS only (2 weeks is pretty good for USPS Express Mail, since when using UPS you have deal with the customs, and Fedex is the worst option for Russia). And this doesn't include any insurance.
$7/month + $20 for setting up means the Premium plan. So here is what
MyUS charges for shipping a 5kg package according to its calculator:
And here is what
MyUS charges for shipping a 12 pounds :
So how much exactly did you pay for sending your 5 kg package?
Does
MyUS charge you in russian rubles?
How do you transfer money to it?
And is there any mail-out fee when using MyUS?
p.s.
$97.98 charged by
MyUS vs $81.65 charged by USPS Express directly. $16 is a good rate, but still not worth for me to switch from
Shipito.
