I use Global Priority Mail all the time and so far I've never had a problem with it. *knock wood*  I think the postal service handles it better than regular Air Mail also.

From US sellers I've dealt with in the past, the best and most reliable method seems to be using the Global Priority mailers.
I understand it's a set rate to use one of the smaller envelopes ($5.00US I believe) and with some exceptions (you can put anything dangerous in it etc) you can pretty much put what you want in there.
Looking at one of the mailers I happen to have lying around at home ( Roll Eyes) I can quote what it says directly for you Mark ...

"The efficient FLAT RATE ENVELOPE - you don't have to weigh the envelope, just pack all your correspondence, documents or merchandise inside and pay the small envelope rate.
Rates vary by country of destination"

There is also a bit more info on it which might interest you too ...
under the 'Documentation' header, it also says ...

"If your mailpiece weighs 16 ounces or more or may be dutiable, affix the appropriate customs declaration form PS Form 2976"

I'm a HUGE fan of these mailers and I only wish we had something as good here in the UK! Wink
As Mark also said, you would need to pack the card/s in something else prior to placing them inside the mailer otherwise they won't survive the journey.

Well done on your pulls and good luck with the auctions too! Grin

I love the flat rate envelopes.  I can pack the cards with lots of cardboard and bubble wrap, and not worry about going over the shipping rate I charged the buyer.  Plus, it's a bonus not to deal with customs forms. Smiley  Only once has it taken longer than the stated time to arrive at its destination.

Thanks for all the replies gang! I've been talking to a few of the YakShack forum folks through emails, (and I appreciate the bids on my auctions  Ebay!   Grin)
   I'm looking at shipping to any International winners using Global Priority. I know I won't be able to use the USPS to prove that I've mailed the packages, but I'm thinking that everyone that I've talked with so far, will be honest enough that I shouldn't have a problem with any Paypal issues  Smiley  Thanks All! ~ Mark
