I have a customer who wants to send a garlic press to her mom in India. She wants to know how much it weighs so she can estimate how much it will cost to ship it. Is there any place we can look up this info? This customer will want to know the weights of other items as well.

I bet HO would be able to get you that info.
 
I have a postal scale. If you want, I can check the weight when I get home.
 
Why doesn't she direct ship it to her mom?

I was thinking that to. If she has a bunch of friends and family that she is doing shopping for set it up as a show and direct ship it all and that would give her host benefits too. Hmm, consultant here having thoughts for how to handle xmas. :p
 
I think Sarah said it's being shipped to India. I didn't think we shipped internationally?
 
Yep, that would be why she needs the weights. LOL see what happens when you read the whole thread and forget to read the main one.
 
I read the whole thread but I read Indiana instead of India...once again, I am the charter member of the idiot club!!

Sarah I ship International everyday at work. It will really depend on the packaging she puts it in to how much it will weigh. Our internet team goes to USPS.com for estimates on shipping costs. You just have to know the destination and the estimate weight, then you select how fast you want it to arrive. Hope this helps. If you need to know the weight of several items, get a list and I can weigh them at work just to give you a ball park figure without the packaging.
