- When I specify UPS Blue shipping, it means I get the package on the second
- day after they ship it. In other words, its second day shipping. I had
- a hp48 shipped from EduCalc via ups blue, cost me $8.75. That was to
- a USA address.
-
- The next cheaper UPS freight is UPS ground, but of course, that doesnt
- quite reach Sweden.. If the total package is under 4 lbs, it might
- be shipped as a small packet via the post office here. Thats $21.59
- for 4 lbs to Europe. Larger packages go by air parcel. To sweden 6
- lbs is $39.70. Max insurance on the parcel is $500. I dont know how
- much it would wiegh.
