Quote from: RockinPrettyBeats on January 29, 2013, 06:16:52 PM$12 to ship a 5oz bubble envelope to France! Seriously, how is anyone going to buy or trade or do anything with us anymore? How do you think we Canadians feel? :-p At least this makes shipping prices more standard across the continent. The only problem of course is that buyers MUST be informed about shipping prices. You can't just look at their prices and go, "$5 to ship?! WAH! Not that rip-off seller!" because one pony is likely to cost $7 to ship now. :-p

It's usually the customs number that serves as your tracking number on international packages, but I'm confused too since the post office's website says it's only available on First Class if you purchase the shipping electronically and I still haven't found a way to do that. Even though they list a discounted online price for first class international now in their postage calculator, it's not offered when you actually log in and try to print a label.
Yep a grinch. She stuck the label over my address so I couldn't see the numbers. Said it's the deliverer's job to read it. Wrote a scribbled number when I asked to fix it. Scoffed when I said I wasn't sure what the number was (no I don't memorize everyone's address) so I wanted to double check. Chastised me for taping down my address because she couldn't stamp it with fragile. Ignored me when I said I could redo the label. And then chastised me again for making my address so large and visible on the box because it leaves no room for the stamp. This last bit was not true and the stamp fit just fine. The label also would fit if she didn't slap it down without looking for a good spot. Oh sorry. I said I wouldn't go into it. I wonder if the postal workers are just disgruntled right now because of the changes. I would guess they dislike explaining everything new to us. But, she also might just be like that. I've never met her before and I'm always in and out of the post.
I know this is kinda off topic but when someone from the US send a package internationally do they wrap it in brown paper?
