International Shipping Available, BUT
VAT requirement in UK and EU is a problem

About 10 percent of my gear sales have come from backpackers outside of the USA. Because the gear is so light, the added cost used to be pretty modest for First Class International Shipping. Unfortunately, the USA Postal Service approximately doubled their fees in 2016 and has continued to increase them yearly. So it has become much more of a concern to international customers than it used to be. Here's the list of additional shipping costs for your orders if you live outside the USA:

To Canada:
$11.64 additional for any Trowel, Spatula, FireFly, or Windscreen
$19.71 additional for any Complete Kit or Little Buck saw

To the Rest of the World (not UK or EU): ***
$15.78 additional for any Trowel, Spatula, FireFly, or Windscreen
$25.28 additional for any Complete Kit or Little Buck saw

*** I have looked into what is involved in collecting VAT and paying it back to the UK and EU countries and determined that I cannot manage the process as a one-person small hobbyist gear-maker. I really wish I could do better than this, but I can't. I can still accept EU orders that amount to more than 150 Euros (you will pay VAT when collecting the package).
If you live in the UK or EU and you have a friend with a USA address, I can certainly ship gear to them, and they can can work out with you how to get it to you.

The above two-tier rates are based on the cost of mailing items up to 8 ounces and the cost of mailing items from 8 to 32 ounces. Generally speaking, more than one small/light item like a trowel, spatula, or windscreen can be shipped for the same cost as a single item. Accessories and small items like ULtimate Esbit Systems, Hanging Esbit burners, Mesh and Hinge pot stands, Pouches, etc., can be shipped for the same cost as a trowel. If you are not sure what to do, please contact me and we can work out the details. What about FedEx or UPS or other global delivery services? Sad to say they are even more expensive.
