I work with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and Federal Express "Express" and Federal Express "Ground".

One of the nicest things about shipping here is that you can get to see the entire list of shipping methods available so that you can pick the method and the price from those offered.  I don't hide the computer screen and hit you with the highest possible price and a hope you'll accept it.  Some companies do this, hoping you'll except it and then offering you the next lower price if you don't.  Many mail stores operate this way.  Instead, I will give you all of the prices available to you and help you choose the one that will fit your needs the best. You might be surprised to learn that Federal Express ground for Italy is cheaper and faster than the United States postal systems built rates. In the six years that I've been shipping I've learned an awful lot of tricks that can sometimes cut your shipping prices almost in half.

I've also learned what you can and cannot do when shipping certain items and what you can and cannot do in packaging things to be shipped.  There's too much for me to discuss in this setting so the easiest way to educate you on this is for you to bring your items to the store and let me help you package them.  Bring your own packing supplies, or purchase some from me, but my labor is free and so is my knowledge.  I'll be glad to help you to get an estimate on the shipping expenses even if you go somewhere else to actually ship your package. The cheaper I can make your shipping the more likely you'll be to come back into my store again.
International shipping is even more complicated than shipping domestic.  Did you know that it's illegal to ship babies clothes to Mexico unless there brand-new and have the price tags still on them?  That's just one of 10,000 rules that you can run into in international shipping. Shipping to the middle east is even more complicated. 
There are so many restrictions there that I wouldn't be surprised if an empty box wasn't illegal.

The bottom line is that you want to get things from here to there as cheaply and as fast as possible and I can help you with this if you come in to the store.
