From: GUEST,Victim of change It has been a while since I shipped a record album to England from the U.S. The old categories have changed. Does anyone know how I would ship now? I found this link that shows first class rates-- http://pe.usps.gov/text/pub51/pub51tbl4-7.html but is that how I would ship? First Class? There are several new categories but they're all incredibly expensive. Can I ship an album in one of the cardboard mailers through first class now? Any advice welcomed. |

She sent it first class, well padded and taped tightly. All came through without a scratch. If I remember correctly, it was something like US$6.00. |

I need to know the best (and cheapest) way to ship from the states to England, or the U.K. I guess. There used to be surface mail and air mail but that has all changed. Now there are several options but they're all very expensive. I just though someone here might have had experience with shipping music albums overseas. It would seem first class mail going from the states to the U.K. would treated like any other mail, though perhaps with less alacrity. And cost less too. Thank you. |

I know that in the US there isn't much that travels strictly by surface. We DO have a 'book rate' that is slow - and MUCH cheaper. You might check that out. |
