When an US'er has trouble finding shipping options "overseas"
I usualy direct them to :

http://ircalc.usps.gov/default.aspx?Mode=Intl_Single&CID=10411

If I select "Sweden" and click on :

Priority Mail International Padded Flat Rate Envelope
12-1/2" x 9-1/2", Maximum weight 4 pounds.

I get a price of $23.95.

And besides, why would you care?
The receiver pays the shipping anyway, not ?
