Why would anyone use UPS to ship a piece of militaria out of the Country? Not only is USPS less expensive there is never a charge for Customs Clearance. I shipped a militaria parcel to Brazil a few years back and the cost quoted by UPS was over $70. I ended up using USPS and the cost was around $12 as I remember it.
BTW: USPS flat rate shipping is a real bargin. I just shipped 50lbs in one of their large flat rate boxes and the cost was around $14.

I don't understand why the USPS is so much cheaper than UPS or FedEx for shipping when the USPS sometimes uses both UPS and FedEx to ship items.I've seen both UPS and FedEx picking up and delivering packages to my local Post Office.
