I have sent overseas several times and I always send to Australia at Christmas time. The key I have found is to keep it under 4 pounds and send it in an envelope helps. I generally load an envelope up and not seal it. Then when I go to the post office I have them weigh it and take things out if I have to. It generally is under $30.00. If you don't want to they can tell you what it will cost at whatever weight you are at. So if need be pull it out to the amount you want to spend. This works the best for me. Hope this helps you. I can't afford to do it every month, but I try to send overseas for this swap 2 or 3 times per year. As we are on a one income budget right now.
