If you are not in the USA or Canada, there is a $20 shipping fee to participate per Gift Exchange. Your Secret Buddy will be reimbursed this $20 fee after you have received your package. This covers the extra costs of shipping international.
The $20 shipping fee for international members will be sent to the YT member who is the Secret Buddy of the international member. 99 percent of the YT members who participate in the YorkieTalk Gift Exchanges are based in the USA or Canada. Shipping a 4 pound package to anywhere in the USA or Canada may be $12 or $15 or even cheaper if you use a USPS Flat Rate Box, but a 4 pound package shipped to England may cost $47 to $56. We feel this would be unfair to the majority of members who participate in the GE and we long ago came up with the shipping reimbursement fee to cover some of those costs.
If there are 5 or 6 YT Europe Members who wish to participate in a Europe-only GE, we would be willing to have a Europe-only GE in the future.
