I need Help sending a package to japan

well im sending my friend a purse and i have no idea what im doing. i was going to send it in a box but dont know how much it will cost me and i heard if its in a big envelop its much cheaper.

please help me

Where are you sending it *from*? You would want to give it at least a paper box, so that it will not be damaged while being transported.

What you can do is, put it in a box, then place it in an envelope, and take it to a post office and ask just about how much it would cost to send it to Japan (via regular air mail, express air mail, etc.). Or you can weigh the whole package on a kitchen scale or something, then look up the postage table of your country to find out :)

It is not the Japan end you need to worry about, you need to ask the post office in your country- that is what they are there for.

Go and ask them how they recommend packaging the item and what packaging they have available there.

If you're sending from the US the charge will be by mode and weight. Go to www.usps.com and you can get full info under 'calculate international postage'.

well i guess ill have to make a trip to the post office tomorrow.
