Julie,
The rate you are looking for is Airmail Letter-post, but it's only for
packages under 4 pounds (with some size limits). Packages over 4 pounds have
to go Airmail Parcel-post. The surface equivalents of the above are Economy
Letter-post & Economy Parcel Post. It's confusing because the Airmail
Letter-post category covers packages, too.
The Global name only appears with priority shipping. Global Priority
Mail(GPM) = expedited shipping 3-5 days; Global Express Mail(EMS) =
overnight shipping 2-3 days; Global Express Guaranteed(GXG) = a guarenteed
delivery date/time to a limited number of countries.
I searched the USPS website for a long time without finding simple
definitions of the new terms. I finally had to pick up a flyer at the PO
that showed them.
In sending items to Canada or the UK, sometimes the Global Priority Flat
rate envelopes can be cheaper than Airmail Letter-post. They are the grey
envelopes with the eagle design. A small one is 6x9, the large is 9x12. The
postage rate is fixed regardless of weight, as long as everything fits in
the envelope & you can close it.
Email me if I may be of any more help.

I don't see "Global Airmail Letter Post" as an option for sending to the UK or Canada. Somebody please (...) (24 years ago, 22-Mar-01, to lugnet.market.shipping)
