as long as you dont pay for postage,you can take the package away from the post office,,i do this to get an accurate rate for my overseas customers,,also this is the exact reason why i ship international with a REGISTERED RECEIPT and a SIGNED RETURN RECEIPT BACK TO ME SHOWING SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY,,the registered mail label makes anyone who touches the package have to sign for it,,many buyers complain but i have never lost a parcel due to theft by CMA,,, Wink
