ebay shipping

My mistake. For international, you are correct. I was wrong. I was looking at domestic.

Nope, less than 16 oz and 3/4" thick, so long as it's not something dutiable. Ie documents, etc.

Much as I like my local POs, I never take their word for anything. lol I've had to correct them far too many times.

I have a copy of the IMM and DMM rules, that are pertinent to me, in my wallet at all times so I can correct anyone who says I'm doing something I can't. lol

I was not referring to documents. I was referring to packages. I don't take their word either. I always verify, online, anything my postal worker tries to tell me.

No big deal.
I thought you'd said ALL international shipments.

Ain't that the truth?

Some of the postal clerks know only the basics. The clerks that really annoy me are the ones that don't know a thing, but act like they know it all.

I once had a clerk that kept giving me shipping rates to Austria, even though I ask for Australia. After losing $3 or $4 on each package I sent (about 10 packages total), I asked the clerk. "Austria and Australia are the same place aren't they?"

Part of the problem with the post office is that one day you'll get a teller that knows nothing but tells you something anyway, and the next day when you return to ship the item, you get the teller that is going overboard following the postal code past what it was intended to be. It can be more than frustrating!!!!

That's one thing I like about UPS. As long as it is very close, they don't send it back. For example say you weigh something as three pounds, 15 ounces and they weight it as four pounds, one ounce.

I have asked the local Postmistress why 13, 14 and 15 ounces are considered to be one-pound. She didn't know and called the regional manager. He didn't know either and called DC. No one he talked to knew. Apparently it has been in place so long no one is willing to charge it.

Just for clarification, the clerk at the post office thought Austria and Australia were the same place.
