- How do i post a package off to a foreign country like the USA?
How big?
I dunno about England, but in Canada, you can go down to the post office and get a detailed pamphlet with all the pricing structures for Canada, USA, and the world.

Like a small box or something, or a larger envelope.
Go to the post office and I bet there is someone you can talk to about international mailing. Worst case scenario you have to go back home and get some information but it doesn't seem to be that complicated

Just go to the post office with the package ready to be mailed and take care of everything there. Just address it like a normal letter and then fill out the customs forms and pay the appropriate postage. Pretty straightforward.
Ask about flat-rate envelopes, too. In the USA there are envelopes you can buy that you put whatever you want in there and you pay only one price. They're really cheap. Perhaps you have those in the UK????

This. Although the last time I was in, between each thing they said for me to do they asked "would you like you to top-up your mobile?" no. "is the item worth more than £30?" no. "do you have a post office card?" no. "would you like a post office card?" no. "would you like extra insurance?" no.m3thod wrote:

Oh how cartoons mislead us. They just wrote the name of the country on the outside of the box in big, block letters and it made its way there.
In Ireland if you're sending a package abroad you have to go to the post office and get it weighed and pay the postage there and then.
the post office will walk you through it.
what are you sending me anyway?
