I wanted to pass on some info about mailing international packages that I got from Knitette.
Hope all is well with you and you're managing to avoid trains, lol! I'm a little concerned that some people aren't aware that international parcels can be sent via normal International post (I think it's called Priority mail).
A couple of times people have sent tracked parcels via UPS or suchlike, which must have cost them a lot of money. Perhaps they get a discount from work or such.
However I'm concerned that some new people may be spending money unnecessarily at prohibitive cost as they think they have to send a tracked package as y'all do in the US. They may not have read they don't have to do this for International.
I wonder if you could please mention something about this on the thread, especially as there's new international people and I would hate for people to be out of pocket more than they had to!
Thank you for passing this information on and I hope people would also rely on their postal worker to help them get the package there with the least expense. Also please note that it states in the swap info that you do NOT need to track international packages as I know how expensive that is!
