It is not necessarily more expensive to ship USPS Priority Mail to AK and HI. If the parcel is lightweight, use regular Priority Mail, and if it is heavy, use Priority Mail Flat Rate - no change in the price no matter what the shipping zone. Weigh the package and go to www.USPS.com and obtain the amount for each option - it is not complicated at all.
The biggest problem with overseas US Mail shipments is the limit each country places on insurance. As I recall, the maximum insurance I can use to Canada is $700, and several other countries are substantially lower. If the parcel has substantial value, use UPS, FedEx or DHL. Most shipping centers will assist with the customs forms, 73, Don W3FPR On 6/2/2011 2:29 PM, Phil Hystad wrote: > But, it is more expensive to send packages to Alaska and Hawaii.
