I am sure this has been asked but before I put my auction on I want to be sure. Can I send a flat rate box internationally for the same price as here in the states.
Has anyone does this? It is quite heavy.

fruscia, use the USPS website postage calculator http://www.usps.com/tools/calculatepostage/welcome.htm?from=home_header&page=calculatepostage to view the services and rates available for international shipping.

Plug in a country and the expected weight of your package and you will see the services available and postage cost. You can also click on the ? by each service to view postal restrictions.

There are size restrictions on some classes of international USPS mail packages. Check your box dimensions to be sure you can even use USPS. You almost have to read the IMM (USPS International Mail Manual) to know them all.

Another factoid many people miss is that the International Flat Rate envelope and International First Class mails have a 4 lb limit.
