It can save you a lot in shipping costs! <br /><br />I have sent a couple of gifts this way, and they were all very nicely packaged :)Sylverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243275308336357177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207173.post-1107812094914411132005-02-07T13:34:00.000-08:002005-02-07T13:34:00.000-08:00A trick for mailing stuff in the US is to have your local PO weigh it. But do not allow them to put the metered stripe on it. They can give you the correct postage in stamps. You can than mail from a nearby large city or have a friend who is traveling drop it in a mailbox. There are some limits to the size of the package so ask. You can send a card addressed to your SP inside another envelope to another town addressed to the post master there. Include a little note asking for hand cancelling there. The post office will do this for you put you do need to include the correct postage on the envelope.Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02637008842079199215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207173.post-1107489073660700262005-02-03T19:51:00.000-08:002005-02-03T19:51:00.000-08:00I had a friend send me a gift via UPS with the value over $50. She marked it higher for insurance purposes, but it wasn't actually that much. I was given a bill to pay duty, but after I called to complain, it was quickly rectified. If you're sending to Canada, mark it as a gift and the value has to be less than $50.<br /><br />Andrea<br />http://members.shaw.ca/andrea-n-bAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207173.post-1107438819674702872005-02-03T05:53:00.000-08:002005-02-03T05:53:00.000-08:00Thanks for the tips, ladies! <br /><br />Keep 'em coming guys - this thread is a great place for you to share your tips!JinxedMinxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07203479722922924475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207173.post-1107388158624174292005-02-02T15:49:00.000-08:002005-02-02T15:49:00.000-08:00For those sending to the U.K. the upper value limit for gifts is £28 .Less than $50 ! They not only charge duty but also a hefty collection fee.Someone sent me a few balls of yarn,''Emma'' by Vittadini and put the value at $100 - rather over-estimated !.That 'gift' cost me a lot.<br /><br />Emma.<br />[www.emma.prettyposies.com]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207173.post-1107385325268825172005-02-02T15:02:00.000-08:002005-02-02T15:02:00.000-08:00A few tips on mailing overseas:<br /><br />1. You gotta sign it with your real name-don't get funny on the customs form. I had a friend sign mine to hide my identity.<br />2. Global Priority Mail envelopes are your best friend. They are like the Priority Mail envelopes, but are flat rate to every country in the world. The flat rate varies, so check out the postal service website. There is a large one that is $9 to the UK and a small one that is $5 to the UK. Stuff them full-don't go over 4 lbs. You can use one piece of clear tape to reinforce the seams without making the postal service angry!<br />3. If you are mailing to a US Military Base, you must fill out the customs form, however you only pay domestic rates.<br />4. Continuing on the Military Base theme, you should state on the Customs Form, GENUINE GIFT FOR MILITARY SPOUSE.<br />5. Find out the customs limits for the country you are mailing to. For the UK and Canada, anything over ~$20 USD may have customs fees levied on it. You don't want your pal to have to pay to pick up their package, do you?<br />6. Surface mail may be cheaper, but it can take 6-8 weeks to make it overseas. Get something smaller and mail it airmail.<br />7. For those mailing to the US, our customs limit is $200.<br /><br />Just my hints-I mail overseas often and I've not had any problems. Knock on wood!<br /><br />Jennifer<br />itisrocketscience.typepad.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
