Prices for sendings for US have increased much in the last years. I got a sending form another exchange which costs 40$ - for a single photograph. I think this is too much and it prevents US photographers to join.
I looked in the SU Postal Service price list to see what is possible.
Don't use priority mail. It is beyond price. We can wair for a few days or even week. Forst class mail is much cheaper.
I don't understand all the prices and sizes up to the last bit. But you may send a letter up to 30 inch x 6 1/8 inch for less tan 4$ to each destination in the world. You may send a print of A5 format or similar with this.
As far as I understand you can sent so called large envelopes up to 12 inch per 15 inch. Therewith you can sent an exhibition print of 30x40 cm²! Price depends on the weight, but for less than 10$ you can have a sending with more than 200 g (8 oz). This is sufficient for a stable package with cardboard to protect the print.
I am convinced that we are able to make a print this size which can be called a fine print.
