    David, go the USPS Express route. I have used them several times now, including a big parcel from Woodcraft which cost $US51.70 in postage.

    In all cases the goods came straight to my PO Box, no customs involved. Longest delivery time was 9 days, shortest 6 days.

    Quite often stuff takes longer to post from Sydney!!

    I just placed an order for some pen kits and other bits from Bear Tooth Woods in the US, cost of postage $US13.50, can weigh up to 4lbs.

    Yes, I have used USPS and it seems to be very Good.
    But my problem was, I was going to purch a branding iron from the USA for branding my work,I have tried other methods to name my work without much success, I have second thoughts about the branding iron too.
    The company seemed reluctant to send it to me by USPS,so I decided to forget the idea
    Thanks for your information
    Regards D M

    Default Branding Iron

    David,
    If you want a branding iron. I could ship it from here via USPS and it would probably be much cheaper then what I am reading in all of these posts. I was suprised that the cost of mailing blanks and the pen to you was much less expensive then I had anticipated. Let me know if I can help.
