best way to post items to the US
Hello there,
First time poster, long time reader. This appears to be an excellent forum. I have a quick question. I [uk citizen] am emmigrating to the US this summer with my wife [US citizen] and we have several hundred CDs to send over. I have removed all the cases, so now they are just discs and booklets. Is there a good way to send these over in the post? Perhaps if I split them into >2KG packages? We are not sending anything freight, just taking checked luggage on the plane. A kind friend in the US has agreed to store them until we arrive. A signed for delivery would be best. Thanks in advance and very kind regards, John |

You should check what it would cost to send them as cargo with an excess baggage company. Depending on the weight it could be cheaper than regular mail.

Usually occupied by a very old deaf lady and her sister who smell of urine and shuffle around looking for her spectacles whilst weighing out stale Everton mints from glass jars. Good luck |

I've found a Post Office is usually the best place.

You're abit out of touch mate. Nowadays the post office here are trying the utmost to disguise their premises, even going as far as hiding them in the corner of supermarkets. The old dears have also been replaced by Asians with a piss poor command of the English language and the inability to ever look even slightly happy.

Having to serve you might make them a little unhappy.

Re: best way to post items to the US
The comment about Asians with poor English was a little rough. And I doubt working in the Post Office is the most exhilarating of experiences.
