USPS M-Bags
I got my first M-Bag just after Christmas. M-bags are great ways to send books and published material overseas. I asked for books for Veronica and a good friend Jane send a giant box. Thank You Jane! The tag on the M-Bag stated that the entire box of books, about 30 pounds worth, cost somewhere in the $25 dollar range. A very good deal considering that I ordered a calendar refill from Seattle and it cost me $9.15.All contents copyright 2004-2007.

wow ... i never knew about this special service from usps ... but still .. in order to order you annual book supply from let's say amazon ... you need a middleman in the US to repack everything and fill out that customs form, right?
and now all these books are going back to seatle soon? What a shame ...
I sent 2 or 3 M Bags once to get all my books over here, once I was sure I was definitely planted here and not going anywhere. I took all the book jackets off and just threw them in the bag, but what I should have done was boxed them, duh. They arrived a bit battered but safe and sound.
