I've been looking at costs for producing me-zines. (I feel so much like Ali G as I type that.) Assuming I make ten copies -- I'll have a couple left over, but it makes the figures easier to work with at the moment -- I've looked at costs. Photocopying/binding costs look like it'll be just under AUD$23 for the pair (which is US$18 or GBD10).

Postage will depend on the weight/size, so I'm stopping by the post office this afternoon to check both. I think it'll be under 500g in weight, so I'll either have to post it as a parcel or as a letter (if I tie them up a little to skim under the 2cm thickness rule).

If a letter, international air-mail to UK and USA would be AUD$11.10 (which is US$9 or GBD5). If it's a parcel, air-mail will be AUD$14.00 to the USA (US$11) or AUD$16.50 to the UK (GBD7).


ETA3: It was totally over the expected weight. Hence, it'll cost an extra AUD$10 in postage, making the totals closer to US$35-37 and GBD$20-22.

*shakes impotent fist of rage at the post service*


That brings the expected price range to US$28-29 or GBD$16-17 for the pair. I'll do some more research tonight and tomorrow, and confirm these estimates, but I thought I'd keep people updated.

ETA: Any ideas on how international payment can be done? I don't have paypal, but I do have a credit card (um, if that helps at all) so I'm totally open to suggestions.

ETA2: I now have a Paypal account. Hopefully, that should solve all problems of payment. *crosses fingers*
