What has your experience been using USPS (cost/time/packaging)?

    I've shipped a number of times to the UK and Europe, no issues but they were all fairly low priced coins. They can get hung up in customs at times though. I've had airmail shipments that got there in 4 days, and some that took 3 weeks, with no seeming rhyme or reason. You can get the cost for each shipment on the USPS site, as well as for Priority mail cost.

    Sent one today. Never had an issue in the past. Depends on the class. I ship registered or first class mainly as express to way too expensive. Fill out the declarations form.

    Never an issue back and forth. I send registered to Britain and receive items via "recorded" which is the British equivalent.
