Update: On January 2, 2008, I discovered that rather than using the Priority Mail International rate which is all that is available for packages, I could ship the CDs at the flat rate envelope rate, which is much cheaper. Therefore, the international pricing that you now find on this page is about $10.00 cheaper than what I was charging before. That price was what I was given by the local post office employees and what I found on the USPS Web site when looking up package prices to international destinations. To those of you who bought the CD at the higher price, I offer my profound apologies; I had no idea there was a cheaper way to ship.
As of May, 2007 the price for shipping to international destinations
increased dramatically. This resulted in my (temporary) restriction of
the regular priced Elementary School sales to US shipping addresses only.
However, many people outside the US have
requested information on whether and how they might continue to purchase
my CDs. When so asked, I have responded with pricing and, if the person
found the cost acceptable, with sale of the CD. To avoid having to answer
each person individually, I am posting here, the requirements for purchase
of the Elementary School CDs to ship to non-US addresses.
Please note that even at
the lower updated price (see top of the page), I find the cost to be very
high due to the shipping. It's not my fault! How the postal service can
get away with this is beyond me. Not only did the price go way up, but
the stated time for deliver increased. It used to be 4-6 days, now it
is 6-10 days. You pay more for slower delivery.

The Priority Mail flat rate envelope price is $9.00 to Canada and Mexico, and is $11.00 to most other international destinations. Therefore, the price for the Elementary School CD to Canada or Mexico is $49.75 and the price to most other non-US addresses to which Priority Mail envelopes may be sent is $51.75.
If you live in an unusual destination country, please check to make sure that price applies to your country before trying to purchase the CD. Go to the USPS web site and check the price to ship a 4.8 ounce envelope (not package) using the Priority Mail flat rate envelope - to your country. Add that cost to the $40.75 listed above. The USPS postage calculator is found at http://ircalc.usps.gov .
Once you have found your total price ($40.75 plus the shipping cost to your country), you will need to use the Send Money feature at PayPal to send that amount to me at jay@arraich.com . Please do not use the Pay Now buttons on the main Elementary School page. Also include your mailing address, or send it to me in a separate email. Be sure to indicate which version of Elementary School you wish to purchase.
To repeat, below are the prices for shipping to international destinations using a Priority Mail flat rate envelope:
Canada and Mexico: total price is $49.75
Most other international destinations including Western Europe and Australia:
total price is $51.75
Unusual destinations: please check the USPS web site!
Note that customs forms are required on all international packages, so you may incur VAT on delivery, depending on where you are.
Don't forget to indicate which version of Elementary School you want, and include your shipping address in the PayPal transfer, or email it to me separately.
I am deeply, profoundly sorry for the high prices. Over the years, I have greatly enjoyed dealing with my international customers. - Jay Arraich
