Instructions

    • 1

      Package the object carefully, with plenty of padding.

    • 2

      Write the recipient's name and street address on the package.

    • 3

      Write the country name in large letters.

    • 4

      Request the postal code for the package's destination at the post office.

    • 5

      Ask for price quotes on sea and air transport. Sea is cheaper but can take much longer, especially when traveling between continents.

    • 6

      Expect to pay an expensive surcharge, often up to $30, in addition to the weight if you request rush delivery.

    • 7

      Insure the package for its real value.
