And for lower weights first class isn't too bad, at least if you're not sending cookies that may languish in Gambian Customs for a while. That's if they make it to their destination at all. Most of Kathy's packages from the U.S. have come through, but not all. I was going to take a chance with cookies, but $34 seemed like a little much for a gamble.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1379/47242016-03-14T19:56:49Zdstb<p>Well, that is annoying.</p> <p>How about 1st class? If I understand it correctly I can have a package with an overall lxwxh of 36 inches for 22.50. I'm not sure what the difference is between 1st class and priority. (Ah, I see, First class price varies with weight. My 22.50 was to Switzerland for 2 lbs. Once I raised it to 3 lbs. it was about the same price as priority).</p> <p>Humph. Probably makes more sense to wait and send a larger box than to send multiple small ones.</p> <p>Sarah</p>
