A thing to keep in mind shipping out of the US is that you have to fill
out a customs form. Depending on what country, how you fill it out
changes what the recipient pays for import duties. I always check the
"gift" box. Haven't had a problem so far.
In reply to Todd,
I have used both UPS and FedEx for forign forign shipments. Fedex is
the fastest but also the most expensive. USPS seems the cheapest by
far.
On a wild note: I received a shipment from Belgium that was shipped VIA
their version of priority. The USPS actualy rang my doorbell on a
Sunday to deliver the box. I was flabergasted. I had NEVER heard of
the USPS ddoing this before. I'm actualy beginning to believe them when
they say they are the best postal service in the world (and that's
scary).
