What is an inexpensive way to send a small package to an address in Chile?

Answer 1

The cost for shipping to Chile will depend on the weight of the package and how fast you need to get it there.

For example, a 1 pound package to Chile:

Airmail Parcel Post - delivery in 4 to 10 days = $18.00 US
Global Priority Mail - delivery in 4 to 6 days = $12.75 US
Global Express Mail - delivery in 3 to 5 days = $26.10 US

If you know the weight of your package, you can find actual charge by going to the US Postal Service website, click on the drop down box to select "Chile", then select "package", then enter the exact weight of package. The link is included below.

I hope this is of help to you. Take care.

Answer 2

The "bag program" the previous answerer refers to is "M-bag." First the package must weigh at least 11 poounds . . . (they'll ship M-bag if it's under 11 pounds, but you still have to pay the 11 pound rate, which is $10.45 (95 cents a pound). You want to ask for "Economy M-bag" (There is also Airmail M-bag, which is somewhat cheaper than regular M-bag, but I've found it to not be reliable . . . in other words, sometimes things are sent Air M-bag and they go surface mail anyhow!) Surface M-bag -- the economy M-bag I referred to at 95 Cents a pound -- will take about a month to reach Chile. So if there's no big rush and package is at least several pounds, that's the way to go. I've shipped hundreds of packages all over the world by M-bag over the past 25 years and they've only ever lost one.

Also the use postal service has a bag program. They put you items in a bag and ship it to the locaion. i would go to a post office and find out.
