I found that posting an A4 envelope overseas - ie. booklets & other flat stuff - was cheaper & easier than sending 3-dimensional stuff, cos parcel rates are calculated using some esoteric formula depending on the length, width, depth, weight or whatever else the person behind the counter decides. Also envelopes don't need a customs declaration, so contents can be kept secret!

So far the stuff I have collected for potential Santees is meant to fit into envelopes, but it just depends on my santee's list what I end up sending. All previous Santees have ended up with something in a parcel of some kind.
