Just a reminder to some that while the limit is a bit more, when posting overseas you might want to under-declare a smidgen so the recipient doesn't get hit w/ customs fees. A lot of countries let items up to twenty-five $ go through w/ no problem.

Cheers.
Yup - value is so subjective anyway

Not only the customs fees/duties, but more importantly in some places it can make the difference between goodies arriving on time or not. Eg in NZ customs interception can easily add a week to delivery time.
