Hi Tim,

    This sounds like a local problem with the folks in your PO. 

    I ship to Canada & other countries all the time. I've not had any
    problem using the little green customs forms. 

    One way to 'beat the line' at the PO is to do everything on line at
    www.usps.com. All you need is a scale that will accurately weigh the
    package. If you want you can also use some of the other mailing
    services like www.stamps.com for domestic malings. 

    For domestic shipments, you can get FREE boxes from the PO. You can
    order them in quantities of 25 on the usps.com site or get then in
    smaller quantities by standing in line at the PO. 

    You should have seen the looks I got during the Christmas rush when
    I walked in to the PO, past the long lines, placed my prepaid
    packages on the counter & left. 

Dave
