USPS Media Mail
By Greg Farmer

[ Mark Williamson wrote in 080226 MMDigest:

"With the demise of Surface Mail, the cost of shipping second hand
88-note rolls from the USA to Australia has become prohibitive ..."

This is a sad situation.  Shipping overseas via the U.S. Post Office
has become extremely expensive since they eliminated surface mail last
year.  This is cutting severely into the pocketbooks of collectors of
all types of items who want to buy or sell with collectors in other
countries.

Has anyone determined if there is _any_ other method of inexpensive
shipping?  There must still be boats crossing the ocean every day
and you'd think someone would capitalize on the situation by hauling
freight at a reasonable cost.  Does anyone know of a reshipper or
whatever that would be reliable and low cost?

Thanks,
Greg Farmer
