We have been encountering a limitation on USPS packages shipped from the U.S. to certain countries that is driving us crazy, and I am very much hoping someone here has an answer we don't know about!
What is the limitation? These countries absolutely don't allow ANY tubes that are over 42" in length. So this means that we CAN'T send any linenbacked 3-sheets, French one-panels, six-sheets etc to those countries, UNLESS they are sent via UPS or Fed Ex and those companies charge outrageous amounts.
This wouldn't be so bad, except that this includes Australia and other countries we ship to regularly, including:
Brazil
Chile
China
Israel
Lebanon
Mexico
Singapore
South Africa
Taiwan
United Arab Emirates
Most other countries allow up to 60" for Priority Mail (Canada allows up to 79").
So my question is, DO ANY OF YOU KNOW ANY AFFORDABLE WAY TO SHIP TUBES OVER 42" FROM THE U.S TO THESE COUNTRIES? If not, we will have to put large notices on auctions for those items warning people from these countries not to bid on them, and I would hate to have to do that!
