How much does it cost to mail a package from Italy to US I am planning on shopping in Italy and shipping back my purchases does that make financial sense?

Right now (November 2008), it costs 85 centos (euro cents) to send a postcard from Italy to the US. If you're in Naples, they'll try to tell you it costs more so you have to buy more stamps from...

It costs 0.62€ to mail a letter from Italy to the US.

It costs 200 euro

They import at least 400,000,000 million$ worth of goods each year.

About a 1,000 dollars :)
