Anyone had experience mailing packages? I am quoted about $50-60 for a 15lb package. When I asked for mail to Prague the postal worker said they couldn't help me without a country..........course, then I had to spell it, a FEW times! judi

Judi. You can probably ship cheaper, but slower, by boat mail, and without insurance or whatever. Instead of Prague you should have said Praha, like a good Czech. That would have really blown her mind. Joe judi wrote: >Anyone had experience mailing packages? I am quoted about $50-60 for a 15lb package.

Judy -- You would think someone working for the post office would be familiar with other countries too. I had a funny experience a year or two ago. I found a Sokol pin from 1907 on ebay and successfully bid for it. When it arrived from the Czech Republic, the postmark read exactly that. My mailman, being a friendly guy, rang my doorbell and told my husband that we had received something from the -- and this is how it sounded when he said it -- from the Sesick Republic. Guess he had now idea where it was either! I don't claim to know everything, heavens! But some things just seem to be part of our general knowledge -- guess not. Hope you are having a good day.
