Postage to Germany

Can anyone give me a rough idea of what it would cost to post a PC game to Germany (DVD size case, fairly thick booklet) or let me know where I can find out, short of weighing it in the post office?

Would it cost the same to Austria?

I've had two requests to post abroad despite now offering it on the listing, but don't want to turn down buyers!

    There are 2 postage bands after u.k. - Europe and Worldwide, Germany and Austria fall under Europe.

    I use my kitchen scales and this site for a quick and easy calculation:

    Then all you can do is take it wrapped to the PO and get an exact price. European rates have narrow charge bands and it is best not to guess.

    sarahcupcake, your spamming attempts are so poor as to be laughable. You have guaranteed that no one will now touch your company with a baregpole.

    Please just hit the spam button people.
