[hpsdr] Export experts?

[John Koster]

Thanks for the comments.

I've pretty much had my own experience validated as to the use of USPS for 
international shipping via the comments received so far.

The one issue which I haven't had time to check is the case where several 
people from the same area have pooled their orders. 

The amount of insurance that can be applied to a package varies from
country to country according to the USPS web site.  In the two specific
cases I've checked so far, the limit is low enough to only cover one or
two sets of Janus+Ozy.

As time allows it is my intention to check each destination with orders 
for more than one set to see what the insurance limit might be.  Then 
contact the parties involved to see how we work things out.  It may be 
that in those particular cases one of the other carriers would be 
preferred.  One can assume an order for 4 sets won't slip through customs 
via USPS in those cases.  

I thought I'd use this opportunity to give some of you a heads up on this 
issue.

If you want to discuss your particular situation, send the mail direct to 
the tapr office.  Replying to the order acknowledgement you received will 
be the best way to do that, since I can then sort on subject to match it 
up in the hpsdr order folder.

John, W9DDD at the tapr office.
