Yeah, the post offices that I go to or never this nice and I ship things a lot and they're never this full of things on the inside, normally it's totally bare with a few packaging envelopes that aren't the right size no priority boxes or labels out so you have to ask them and then walking up to the counter, they look like they hate you chewing gum like they can't stand your existence and there NEVER this empty they always have a line of angry people because they've been waiting for 20 minutes because there's only one register open 😅 I wish I could get a post office this nice
Thanks for actually showing you going to the post office. Usually people just try to explain it very simply. But for someone who has never stepped foot in a postal office, it's very confusing for me.
@@JulSherlock Good question. I would only use an international flat rate box if I knew my stuff was going to weigh more than a few pounds but below 20 lbs. You may want to check the links here for your specific needs: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm. I think it's possible to print your customs declaration and print the label online, yet the USPS requires you create and login with an account to do that in order to pay online.

That moment when English is my first language, I am 19 years old, and I still need this video because I never learned how to send anything in the mail 😃
Thank you! Videos like this have really helped me as I start to learn more about how to function as an adult with autism and give me more confidence when doing things in real life. This means the world to me!
Thanks so much for this informational video! I'm trying to send something to my friend in S. Korea and I've never sent internationally. I SO appreciate this!!
This lady is being so sweet and kind. While, other USPS offices employees are rude and informative. I hate usps😂 btw thanks alot for video I've never been to USPS❤
thank you so much for this video! My friend group is doing a "Halloween secret santa" type thing and the USPS website is so confusing. Great explanation!
I'm in the UK. I recently ordered a red dot mounting plate from America, bit of metal no larger than a key ring. Cost $49. Shipping to the UK was another $75😮.
You will likely need a form for each box explaining the unique contents in each box. Things may have changed though since I made this video a while ago.
Well after getting prices as high as $700+ to ship a 5.5lbs box to the UK from NYC... I now know to repackage it in 2 packages half and half! Amen... God bless America... I truly could take a few rounds trips to the UK for less than ups and FedEx. Smh!!! Thaaaaanks
Great question! I recommend the Flat Rate shipping box up to 70 lbs. You can see it here: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm. However, you may need to check if that country is impacted by deliveries or not. See International Service Alerts here: about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm.

Hello quick question: I’m sending a few pares or earrings (under 4pounds) but don’t want to pay for priority shipping cause that’s wayyy too expensive. Could I get first class shipping and it be less?
I don't remember what my post office told me but I'm trying to send my bf and anniversary gift and he's in Canada and they gave me a estimate of like 15$
@@wolfgirlplays375 It could be more than $15, depending on the weight of your package. A lot of pricing comes down to package dimensions and weight, plus the destination country's policies.
Hey, I’m trying to send gift to my friend in Canada this Christmas but this is the first time I’m shipping a package. I wanted to ask, do they show you what kind of boxes they have at the postal office? I have all the other information, but I just don’t know if I can get a box directly from the postal office or if I have to get one myself. Loved the video, it was really helpful.
Usually most post office locations have boxes you can purchase. However, you may have to buy tape there too to seal your box and package. Another option could be to visit another store (Wal-Mart, etc.) and get a box and packing tape there because it might be cheaper that buying it at the post office.
Nice Isabel! A good resource for you might be Shippo.com for getting shipping discounts too for your business. You could also explore Google Merchant or Etsy.com as options for your online store.
@@ESLWithPurpose omg thank you for the suggestion. I'm watching a tutorial on how to use etsy and omg I have been missing out! :) I appreciate you helping me ! :) Your sources are definitely helping me get closer to where I want to be.

You could try “First Class Mail International” in an envelope. I found this on USPS: . “You can ship items up to 15.994 oz” with First Class Mail International.” If it weighs more than that and is less than 4 lbs (pounds), your next option is “First Class Package International Services.” You could use a padded envelope there or buy one cheaper at Walmart or another office supply store. See more USPS details here👉 www.usps.com/international/mail-shipping-services.htm
@@avalanchecovers353 I just released more details on how to check pricing, size, etc. using the USPS website with English practice too: ua-cam.com/video/poowrCM4Y7U/v-deo.html
Hey I Have a question, which package would be the best to send clothes to someone and how would I weigh it. Also what is the cheapest and fastest way to ship packages domestically. Also I love your video is was very helpful.
Hi Koumeng! My apologies on the delayed response. Domestically the USPS is often cheaper. For clothes, it depends on how many clothes and the weight of the item. You could pick up a product scale like this one to weigh it: amzn.to/34F5kAE For the envelope, you could use the flat rate boxes for larger quantities of clothes, but if it is just a shirt, maybe the flat rate envelope option or use a poly bag mailer that has a t-shirt size dimension like 10x13 inches or more. First Class Package Service should be affordable.
Has your package made it to its destination I sent a package to my boyfriend back in Dec and it’s still in Los Angeles apparently it just made it through customs and back at international distribution hopefully it’s out now
Good question. No, I just had to pay with my credit card when shipping outside of the U.S. You could pay cash too as an option. You do have to write a return address on the form.
How much do you think it would cost to mail a gift weighing one pound or less from America to Britain? I’ve never shipped internationally before and this is the first helpful tutorial I’ve seen!
Honestly I’m not sure. You have to check with the USPS website and customs costs in Britain. Probably more than $20 I assume but I don’t know as international rates change at times.
I’m not sure. It depends on the Philippines’ rules and regulations. This site has more details 👉 pe.usps.com/IMM_Archive/HTML/IMM_Archive_20060108/imm/immicl/immiclnr_018.html
the fact this video is even needed is insane. they overcomplicate the process so much, its nuts. my girlfriend lives in ireland and the shipping process literally is the biggest inhibitor of getting gifts over there
This might be a silly question, but if it's just a letter do I still need that From/To label? The envelope is quite small and addresses are clearly written on the envelope itself.
No need for the from/to label as long as you have the return and recipient address clearly written. They also have an international stamp you can buy for mailing international letters.
@@ESLWithPurpose thank you so much for replying! I’ll look into those stamps! I ended up just taking it to the post office to be sure, but I’d like to just mail from home so stamps would be great.
I’ve been trying to send something to Washington in a box but I’m still unclear how to check how much the shipping will be and how to check how much I’m able to send within the box
It depends on the size of the box. The USPS does have boxes in their stores you can purchase, however they will not pack them for you or put things in it. You will be responsible for that. You could go to an office supply store like Office Depot or somewhere and buy a larger cardboard box for your needs. It may be cheaper that way.
It all depends on the other country's limitations and restrictions. Usually you cannot ship liquid in glass jars, but I could be mistaken. I found this resource which may be helpful for you: www.easyship.com/blog/usps-shipping-restrictions
Hey! Quick question, I have a penpal all the way in Malaysia (I live in New York) and I'm going to be sending her a letter (obviously under 4 pounds) so to send the letter is it the same process as what you did? Not sure if this is a stupid question...
For a letter, it will be different. You will need an international stamp for standard envelopes and that should do it. You can get them here: store.usps.com/store/results?Ntt=international+stamps&_requestid=236634 However, always check with the USPS for updates here www.usps.com/ship/letters.htm for the official letter mailing process.
What about USPS First Class Mail International? Do you recommend using that for smaller items? I noticed you used priority international. Much cheaper it seems to sent first class intl. Wondering your thoughts?
It is cheaper to do First Class Mail International. With priority or flat rate, you get the added benefit of tracking the package though and I think it is covered better.
Hello, Is it possible to send the same package internationally but using the first-class package shipping way? Because it said that the first-class shipping is a lot cheaper and will I just ask the usps employee for the shipping options? thanks
Good question. It might be cheaper to use first class, yet you may want to compare prices, depending on the country: www.usps.com/international/mail-shipping-services.htm#quickcompare
Do you have to list everything in the package specifically? For example, I'm trying to send clothing and unopened candy to a friend in Poland, and there are multiple packages of candy. Would I list the name of each package or no?
Hi, is it cheaper to pay for shipping specifically to Canada using first class mail or a flat rate padded envelope? specifically for an item that is less than 4 pounds.
Good question! According to the USPS site, the “first-class package international service” pricing options appear to be cheaper than the flat rate international pricing. See it here 👉www.usps.com/business/prices.htm and click on International Prices with the drop-down arrow. I hope this helps you! I don’t work for the post office, but answering these questions makes me feel that way. 🤣
Yes, you can. They will have to weigh the box there to calculate the cost. You could enter the dimensions and weight of your package using the USPS online calculator for an estimate. You will also need to label clearly the send and return address.
I would like to send care package with gifts to friend in Finland maybe less than 10 lbs. I can’t find anywhere online that says what I can send like cookies . Candy , home decor etc. what is cheapest option that includes tracking. And it’s ok if it takes week or so to arrive.
Priority Mail Express International but the sender wrote that parcel contain 2phones and a calculator but the parcel actually contains 3phones and 2 calculator on the item description...Will that be a problem?
I’m not sure. That is usually declared for the estimated cost of goods or items in the box. Either way, it is the weight, dimensions, and policies of the international country’s destination that will determine the cost of how much to ship your package. I’m not sure if this helps, but those are my 2 cents anyway. 🙂
Hi Xubaer! I think a small flat rate box might be a good option for you. You may want to read more about the specific details here: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm. You will need to print out a customs form for it too.
Each country will have a different shipping cost. You will need to reference the USPS website here: www.usps.com/international/mail-shipping-services.htm
Sorry I missed this question. I think any information you can provide for region, city, location in the native language and in English on the package will help. However, I'm not sure how the mail works in Colombia.
How many days delivery my boyfriend hi send me package December 5 said only 9 days but until now did not receive package I'm here Hongkong.. Please reply
Hi Loyl. I do not work for the USPS and all comments here are my opinion only. I do not know why you did not receive the package yet in Hong Kong. Maybe it is stuck in customs? Does Hong Kong charge for you to receive packages? You may want to check rules and regulations here: pe.usps.com/text/imm/fh_024.htm#ep6452422 It also depends on if he used the USPS or another mail carrier.

What if I am sending many boxes all at once? Do I need to fill out the customs form several times?? Or just once for the entire shipping?

You will likely need a form for each box explaining the unique contents in each box. Things may have changed though since I made this video a while ago.
Hello! I was wondering, do I need a usps priority mail box specifically? or can I just use a brown box and add postage?
You can use a brown box, but you will have to include the address it is going to and the return address on a USPS shipping label.

You could use your own, yet you will need to fill out all of the information on the customs form, mentioning the value and contents.
Does anyone know if mailing to Venezuela is currently an option?
What about USPS First Class Mail International? Do you recommend using that for smaller items? I noticed you used priority international. Much cheaper it seems to sent first class intl. Wondering your thoughts?
It is cheaper to do First Class Mail International. With priority or flat rate, you get the added benefit of tracking the package though and I think it is covered better.
Andres, this new video might help you: ua-cam.com/video/sJyU5rECKco/v-deo.html. Lesson 2 in the Playlist too.
Hello, Is it possible to send the same package internationally but using the first-class package shipping way? Because it said that the first-class shipping is a lot cheaper and will I just ask the usps employee for the shipping options? thanks
Good question. It might be cheaper to use first class, yet you may want to compare prices, depending on the country: www.usps.com/international/mail-shipping-services.htm#quickcompare
THANKS
Im just wanting to send some stickers and drawings to a buddy i know who lives in the UK, is it still considered a package?
Great question! I think you can just use an envelope. It depends on the weight and size.
@@ESLWithPurpose okay! Thx!
Can you create the customs label online and drop off your package at one of those blue boxes at usps if it’s small?
I think it depends on the size of the package locations. Sometimes the USPS has signs on the blue box saying they do not take packages.
Thank you so much Alex!
This is helpful :D
You’re welcome!
Do you have to list everything in the package specifically? For example, I'm trying to send clothing and unopened candy to a friend in Poland, and there are multiple packages of candy. Would I list the name of each package or no?
just say candy don’t have to list each candy
When you are writing the addresses do u have to write in all caps???
Good question. I don't think it is required. However, it may help the receiving country or post office recognize it better.
@@ESLWithPurposeohh thank u 😊
Hi, is it cheaper to pay for shipping specifically to Canada using first class mail or a flat rate padded envelope? specifically for an item that is less than 4 pounds.
Good question! According to the USPS site, the “first-class package international service” pricing options appear to be cheaper than the flat rate international pricing. See it here 👉www.usps.com/business/prices.htm and click on International Prices with the drop-down arrow. I hope this helps you! I don’t work for the post office, but answering these questions makes me feel that way. 🤣
ESL With Purpose thank you so much 😊
nice, concise.
Can you ship using your own box? I’ve already packed a plain cardboard box full of goodies for my husband!
Yes, you can. They will have to weigh the box there to calculate the cost. You could enter the dimensions and weight of your package using the USPS online calculator for an estimate. You will also need to label clearly the send and return address.
I would like to send care package with gifts to friend in Finland maybe less than 10 lbs. I can’t find anywhere online that says what I can send like cookies . Candy , home decor etc. what is cheapest option that includes tracking. And it’s ok if it takes week or so to arrive.
I think specific foods are restricted, yet I don’t know what the Finland government does or does not allow.
The USPS has a list of detailed info. here: pe.usps.com/text/imm/fh_004.htm
Priority Mail Express International but the sender wrote that parcel contain 2phones and a calculator but the parcel actually contains 3phones and 2 calculator on the item description...Will that be a problem?
I’m not sure. That is usually declared for the estimated cost of goods or items in the box. Either way, it is the weight, dimensions, and policies of the international country’s destination that will determine the cost of how much to ship your package. I’m not sure if this helps, but those are my 2 cents anyway. 🙂
Hi? Can I send iphone to UK by using usps? What should I use? Box? Plz give me some advice.
Hi Xubaer! I think a small flat rate box might be a good option for you. You may want to read more about the specific details here: www.usps.com/international/priority-mail-international.htm. You will need to print out a customs form for it too.
Thanks a lot!
When you put your friend's address do you have to do it in their language or just in English?
If you know their language and how addresses work in their country, it helps. It’s best to have both English and their language on it.
Thank you! Thank you so much!❤️
You’re welcome!
Hi do you have idea how much shipping cost if i send 1-2 bags to saudi arabi, Europe or singapore?
Each country will have a different shipping cost. You will need to reference the USPS website here: www.usps.com/international/mail-shipping-services.htm
I think the prices will range from $20+ to up to $100, depending on weight, size, and customs rules for the destination country.
Ok tha k you sir
I'm trying to send a letter to Colombia but im not sure what to put for the address. Do i need the region or anything?
Sorry I missed this question. I think any information you can provide for region, city, location in the native language and in English on the package will help. However, I'm not sure how the mail works in Colombia.
t h a n k u :O i speak english I just have social anxiety lool
How many days delivery my boyfriend hi send me package December 5 said only 9 days but until now did not receive package I'm here Hongkong.. Please reply
Hi Loyl. I do not work for the USPS and all comments here are my opinion only. I do not know why you did not receive the package yet in Hong Kong. Maybe it is stuck in customs? Does Hong Kong charge for you to receive packages? You may want to check rules and regulations here: pe.usps.com/text/imm/fh_024.htm#ep6452422
It also depends on if he used the USPS or another mail carrier.
