What is the best way to send books to Australia? |
Travel Info I am about to send some paperback books to Australia and want to be sure that they get to where they are going. Do I need to buy insurance for them? The total value of books is maybe $25 US dollars. Do I need to put Australia on the envelope? I was going to take them to a local post office. Can any one help me out? I am in the US if that helps. Travel Tips Of course you need to properly address the envelope. If your item weighs less than 4 lbs, i believe your item would be sent as First Class Mail International which would cost around $10.15. Insurance is optional, if you want your item to be insured against loss or damage, and want to track the date and delivery time and delivery attempts online, you may upgrade your item to a Registered Mail for additional $10.15. Check out USPS.com for more details. Others You could try D.H.L. or some of the other courier services or send them by snail mail via air mail also put on the envelope a customs declaration that they are books as they are paperbacks & not worth much - send by sea mail - it's the cheapest. we do have books in this country too - so why bother sending some from the usa. If they are pornographic your recipient could get into a bit of a stew. |
