Straight from the US Post Office I go to (regularly) when shipping to my overseas Pentaxians: "The green customs form is normally for a package weighing less than 4 lbs... "

Be advised that the larger forms with multiple items can be a bit time consuming - it took me nearly 20 minutes to complete 3 of them, wait in line and then pay for everything, not including travel time to and from the post office. That's with the packages addressed and ready to go. I've been thanked for doing that in advance by the US Postal folks.

Again, I'll ship overseas... as long as you've got a valid address with PayPal... and I don't mind dropping the "price" somewhat, since it's "used"...

Cheers,
Marc
