The United States Postal Service no longer offers the Small Packet shipping
option when sending an item internationally! This is definately bad for us
LEGO buyers and sellers because this will triple the amount it costs to send
the average LEGO set overseas. For example: I sold a 6024 to someone in
Germany months ago and it cost me $4.00 to send it to him small packet. I
called up the USPS today, and with Parcel Post, to only other airmail
option, the same package will cost $14.00! For a 6024! A 12 oz package!
Unbelieveable!
