Admitedly I don't send much stuff overseas so I got a shock when I posted a parcel to my uncle in Italy the other day.

The parcel was a tough bag containing a calendar, photo's and some local newspapers, the total weight was approx 650gm. The total value was around $15.

For this I had to show Id, fill out a couple of pages of customs declarations and hand over $39 to send by airmail.

I'm going to stop having these Rip Van Winkle moments.
I send some stuff to my cousins in France and clocked up $80.00 in fees. Yeah it's not cheap.
