i sent it through the post office, in a box, lied on the paper that asks for the contents of the box... i sent it in advance, so i wasn't charged a fortune to get it there via express mail...

youre gonna have to pay. the post office is NOTORIOUS for stealing foreign packages. i suggest fedex.

i sent zippo some koolaid once... she never got it. we cry.

fedex???

you sent to chile and uruguay, right??

i sent my cousins some games, just the cd's (like 4 of them) all in separate envelopes and 3 got there. but this was like 6 years ago. damn fedex would be fucking expensive

fed ex is a little expensive but not that ridiculous. should be under 20 bucks. i wont do it regular mail, unless it's a freaking postcard.

we send lots of mail to chile. we used to send it regular express mail, but the last time we did that, a little package for my grandfather went missing. :(

so yea, fedex. ask them for rates.

I worked in a post office for almost 5 years

here in canada anyways, if its light enough and "fits through a certain sized slot" you can send something as a letter still and not have to pay the jacked up parcel prizes

so try and make your packages small enough to go as an international letter rather than a parcel and youll save HELLA cash
because most parcels have a MINUMUM charge type deal even if the package weighs waaaaaaay less than the minumum weight
its moreso about the volume of the package than the weight that makes it cost more up to a certain point

I never ever had any experiences of anyone's packages getting stolen,
not on our end of the line anyways

though at xmas time if you were a right fucking bastard to me while I was helping you then be safe in knowing that I may have taken your parcel to the back room and kicked the shit out of it a lil bit
