The shipping and handling cost including registration fee is USD 12.99 for this item. Registered SAL provides tracking service and insurance with limited coverage and takes about two - six weeks to deliver. SAL is an "economical" shipping method because it has no guaranteed time frame (it may take over a month especially in the US), so buyers may probably want to keep checking the delivery status online and contact your local custom office.
