(...) To follow up... Since the buyer didn't care about the box, I "decanted" it into a box that was easier to ship: a 11"x14"x9" "bankers box". I taped it up securely and took it to the post office. I sent it Airmail ($37.25 postage + $3.60 (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Hello Jeff, I sold quite a few "small packet" worldwide. I had the same experience with some PO but the rule is to follow the booklet rules! That's it!

Which is to say, if I don't recognize the clerk, I'll tell them what I'm shipping, how and how much $$ before they even weigh it, typically. The poor Shopper's Drug Mart clerk often is (...)

I have a 10 lb. box to send to Switzerland. It looks like I can send it airmail with the USPS for about $35. Is that right? What's the best shipping method? Also, what do I put on the customs forms?
