I write:

As I stated on the auction pages, I charge postage
at my cost.  I use USPS Prioprity Mail Domestic to
USA customers, or USPS Priority Mail International
to all others.

The USPS provides free packaging materials and free
at my home package pickup, for which otherwise I would
have to charge my customers.  Also, out of USA
packages get very prompt delivery and free insurance for
their models.

Overseas postage costs have gone up, but for most kits
still a good value for the service provided.
For some countries, there are USA connections that will allow
me to mail the package to a USA address.  They collect all the
package until they have a cargo container full which is
shipped to the home country, and then the packages
are forwarded to the end buyer.  To countries which
have a real postal service theft problem, this works out
very nice for all involved.

Thanks,

Mike
