UPDATE: After reading your comments and questions, I'm releasing my USPS Shipping and mailing lessons all for you here on UA-cam. Check out the Playlist to start from the beginning. 👉 ua-cam.com/video/xxeY31zrTwM/v-deo.html
Is there way you can create your own label online on their website ?
@@tseringdickey8358 Yes, you can do so when you login and create an account here: www.usps.com/international/. Go to the tab that is "International" and select "Print International Labels."
I know it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Magnus Payton Flixportal xD
Ok, that lady in the post office was one of the nicest postal workers I’ve ever seen!
Yeah she is great and helpful. Every time I go there if I don’t know something she lets me know a better option or at least she lets me know all the options.
I know what you mean :3
they are not like this in brooklyn
I dont know why usps gets a bad reputation when dealing with them at the post office. They've always been nice and helpful when I go. 🤷🏽♂️
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
watching this cause school failed me
LOL. This school is called, "The school of life."
Facts
😂
Same
real☠️
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.
I’m glad it helped you! Yes, I almost always feel confused when going to the post office.
@@JubyJub 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. See this link: cns.usps.com/
@@JubyJub Usually they have them in the Post Office. You can also preorder them online and have them shipped to your home.
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 😃
Lol glad it helped!
Literally same
The b-roll of going to the post office is amazing🤣
I can’t take credit for that. My video guy did that one. 😆
right wtf
I need that when I go to the post office to boost my confident for nothing
this cinematics of bro walking to the post office 😂😂😂
Yep LOL. 😆
Thank you for walking us through this process
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much ! I’m shipping for my small business and this is so nerve racking
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!!
Glad it helped you!
me too lol
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. I am 20 years old and felt like I was dumb for not knowing how to do this.
Yeah it can be quite confusing for anyone. You’re not dumb, there’s just a lot of rules and steps. 😆
Same !!! 😂🙌🏾
Excellent channel even for those who speak English but were never taught these things.
This helped so much and I loved your energy 😂🤝
Ahh thanks so much for this! I'm trying to ship some stuff to a friend in NZ as well & this'll be my first time so this video helps so much
Glad it helps you Mara! Thanks for watching.
This helped me tremendously today, thank you!
You're welcome!
Your videos are the closest to reality. Good job! Thank you!

Thanks!
Why am i just found this channel so late! Thanks for sharing~
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!
That sounds interesting Lee! Thanks for watching and give the video a “like” please? 🤗 Let me know how that “Halloween secret Santa” turns out.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful to me 😊
You’re welcome!
Truly one of the moment of all time
Phrasal verb I used: "You'll see a label SITTING AROUND." That means "something is on the table or counter in a place."
That was very helpful
Thank you for this. Im starting my online boutique next month and my goal is to ship internationally :)
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. I had no idea of shippo,etsy or google merchant. You deserve more views you're so helpful :')
@@SteezyDollIsabel Thanks! Not only have I taught English or continue to help others learn, I also work full-time for a marketing company, so I'm learning a lot on how to help Small Business Owners. I'm glad to help. :) Maybe when you launch your store, I can share the link with my audience of followers.
subscribing bc of how helpful this was lol
I thank you more for making the vedio!
The most helpful video

Best video ever I’ve watched this multiple times and I’m shipping my first international package today thank you
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
@@BriYancy-gr5kc yes my package made it all the way through as long as you followed all the instructions u should be fine
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.
What if you are sending a very light small piece of jewelry in and enveelope like the is one , between 1 and 4 pounds is it all the same price?
Wow at 6:52 there is Carrie Underwood Love Wins!!!!!!
Cool video, thanks for taking your time and upload this amazing video

Hi Edwin!
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.
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
Hello! I am trying to ship a gift to Greece. I was wondering how you got the priority mail envelope, or if they just have those there at the post office. I’m also wondering if you can pay more to have it delivered sooner rather than later. Thanks!
You can buy them at the post office or order priority mail envelopes in bulk online from the USPS. If you pay more for faster delivery, it will be expensive. However, once it enters the country like Greece, it depends on their government policies and how mail works there, so even if you pay more, it could take more time.
when the customs form asks "value", is that the $ value of what you are shipping?
Yes, it would be the value of the product at retail price.
love your videos with real situations, thanks a lot
You’re welcome!
Can I send a package to Peru, from the us? The package is around 60 lbs
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. It looks like Peru's latest update is this: about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/peru.htm
I hope this helps you!
Do I have to use a flat rate envelope or can I use a bubble mailer and write the information on it?
You can use a bubble mailer. They will calculate your shipping cost at the post office.
how much did the package weight?
Ty
Bro is walking with a PURPOSE 😆
That I did. 😆
Did u have to provide ID after filling out the customs form?
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.
t h a n k u :O i speak english I just have social anxiety lool
Is this the same in the UK?
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.
Does anyone know if mailing to Venezuela is currently an option?
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?
Good question. It probably depends on the country or location you mail it to.
First class might be cheaper yet you may have to ask the post office clerk.
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.
Your video was extremely helpful for me, especially since it’s my first time trying to ship something internationally. I do have one question, I want to mail a keychain to my friend, in the Philippines, but I don’t know how much shipping ,all the way over there would be, do you have an estimate of maybe how much it could be depending on where I want to send it off and also how much the package will weigh?
It honestly depends on the weight and dimensions of the package, along with any rules or regulations the Philippines has for any incoming mail. Here are a couple resources I found which might help you:
pe.usps.com/text/imm/ps_006.htm
www.shipbob.com/shipping-from-us/to-philippines/
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
🤣😆 Oh my that’s expensive. You may want to check other options like ship7.com if you are sending multiple products.
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 😊
Hey, I have a question! So I want to send my boyfriend a hoodie and letter (hes from Algeria by the way) would he have to pay to receive the package?
If you are sending to Algeria, I'm not 100% sure if they will charge him to receive packages or not. You will need to check here: pe.usps.com/text/imm/ab_003.htm#ep10378908
I need to send boxes to mexico.. clothes and shoes of my family. Would you recommend usps or another carrier?
Hi Tania. USPS might be okay. Maybe UPS or FedEx. Sometimes DHL could be an option too. I know the people at Ship7.com also may have some options, but I cannot guarantee anything. It depends on how well the shipping works in the country it is delivered to.
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
Hi! I have a question, do I need to buy their boxes or could I use my own?
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.
35.00 and no one blinks, I call those crazy prices.
your walk up song is baller
hi, i see you’re answering questions so i hope u can answer mine xD i wanna send a handmade scarf but i don’t know what i should put as the u.s.$ or the nat weight if i don’t have a weight for that?
You could estimate the ounces of what the scarf weighs and write it down. For example, 0.2 or 0.3 lbs. The U.S. $ would be your estimated cost of the product at retail price.
ESL With Purpose thank you!
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?
Thank you.
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.
Been out of school for 4 years and i still haven’t seen a 2y=x on the stuff i actually need to learn how to do
if it’s a letter and a small keychain do i have to use one of those specific packages or is there a different smaller package for that?
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
ESL With Purpose Thank you!!
@@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
So wat is u shipping something big state to state ... will the postal office give u a big box or u have to come with your own
??
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.
what did you send to your friend at New Zealand?
Hi Arturo, I sent them this phrasal verb card game: amzn.to/39M2dHm and this English language activities book: amzn.to/2JMD44x
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.
awesome, palm springs, ca.
Thanks!
Howdy Friend! I hope you are still answering questions! Im planning on shipping a bracelet and a letter to Ukraine, but Im not sure if I can just include the bracelet inside of the envelope with the letter or if I should get a bigger package to put them both inside of.
Also for foreign countries, should the address be in English? Or the countries language?
Thanks alot!
As far as I know, the address must be in English. Or there must be an English translation below every line if the address isn't written in English. Hope this helps!
Having the translation with the English is best, so both parties involved can know how to deliver it. However, given the situation now in Ukraine, I honestly don't know now.
What a friendly person you have waiting on you. Our post office workers are very, very miserable.
Very nicely explained .I wanted to ship something but didnt know how to use it .One qustion I want to ship liquid stevia to India .Can i ship or not?
I'm not sure about liquids being shipped to India. You can see the country restrictions located on this site: pe.usps.com/text/imm/immctry.htm
India has these specific guidelines for your options: pe.usps.com/text/imm/il_002.htm#ep1379945
Can you ship glass jars through usps to other countries?
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
where do you get the actual envelope/package thingy??
You may buy them at an office store, order online, or you an buy the padded envelope at the USPS store.
