    If you're like me and order a ton of stuff online, and from the US, this site is really handy:

    http://www.thefinalcost.com/shipments/calculate/

    It lets you calculate how much you'll be paying after duties, taxes, brokerage fees, etc. It's pretty accurate. :)

    That's actually really handy, thanks :) I usually order harder to find dvds, and blu-rays and sometimes while the price of the dvd is really good they charge outrageous shipping prices. This let's me see if it's worth it or not!

    No problem :)

    If you get small items like DVDs shipped via USPS, there usually aren't any extra fees. If it's UPS, FedEx, etc, they charge a buttload even for the smallest items.
