I am sure this will vary alot depending on where the TV is going and how large it is but I was just hoping to have a bit of an idea. Anyone want to share?

I know, that we all should try to make our tvs not to heavy and large and only send tvs without anything else. I also asked our new members to choose tvs, which are lighter, when I've seen, that they were heavier than 150g.
I've heard, that sending from USA is rather expensive.

Generally, postage costs less than $5.00 and you do have to go to the post office to submit a customs form for all other countries. An exception to that may be the old-style Flat Stanley and Flat Sallys that maybe could be popped into a mailbox. I haven't seen any of those on this site.

The heavier toys can be quite expensive to mail, so please include the weight of your toyvoy in the profile and include anything that goes with it in the weight. I don't mind a little journal or an internal squeaker or whatever else as long as it's accounted for in the profile so that I can choose not to host a toyvoy if I can't afford to mail it after its visit.

Thanks!

Thank you for your input! I have been asked by some people to host quite large TV's and I thought they would probably cost alot to mail! For cost and ease of transportation I am going to stick to hosting only small TV's.
