Someone has also raised the question of how much shipping would cost. If it's a few bucks, that's OK, but in other cases, it could be over $10, which would be out of line. I agree with those price ranges.
This wasn't discussed when we did the first try on this last year. I find the USPS site very confusing and hard to understand (typical, I guess). However, I was playing around with the idea of mailing a 10-ounce parcel from LA to New Jersey and got a low price of $5,80 for a priority mail 2-day flat rate box. The site suggests First Class Mail Parcel would be available at 3.26 (it qualifies for packages under 13 ounces. An HO freight car is in the 4-5 ounce range.)
I don't know what would be involved in sending packages to Canada or any other country. Any observations, suggestions, or experience would be most helpful.
