How much it cost to ship a package to Russia from the USA via Qwintry, FishisFast and Pochtoy parcel forwarders in 2015

I've stopped using Shipito parcel forwarder for shipping to Russia in late 2014. The first parcel forwarder I used to ship from the USA to Russia in 2015 was Qwintry. I tried to choose the Qwintry Air courier service, but it appeared to be more expensive for my package due to the dimensional weight. So after consolidating my package I switched to USPS Priority Mail Express International.
Qwintry package: Invoice

But later on I also tried Qwintry Air courier service as well as Qwintry Eco Post delivery by Russian post via Berlin.
