It would appear that a couple of meteorite dealers (names with-held to protect the not-so-innocent) think that Global Priority has to ba a large envelope costing around $10 (Large envelope rate) but small items wrapped in bubblewrap are fine in the smaller envelope ( around $5 small envelope rate) or normal airmail ( around $2 - $3 ) a substantial difference when you buy 100s of inexpensive meteorite slices over many months. (been there, done that !) ----------------------------------------------------- Global Priority Mail is great, and I use it almost exclusively for shipping outside the US. But I don't use the envelopes. I use sturdy boxes with plenty of bubble wrap and "peanuts". I have seen too many broken slices! Still, the cost is usually $9 for most European countries. Anne M.
