I always ask for people to send stuff from the USA to me using Global Priority - they have flat-rate envelopes (and boxes, I believe) and they are 
remarkably good value - an average order from Glitchbuster would be $5.95, or $9.95 for a larger one.  And they're fast too - usually 3 to 5 days.  I 
assume Sweden wouldn't be any more expensive as a destination than England!  :-)
