[78-L] A Package to India

[Roger Wade]

Hi David,

I've been shipping single 10-inch 78s overseas in a 12x12x3 box from Uline, the 78 between four 10-inch corrugated mailer pads, wrapped with a 12"x24" large bubble wrap, and the rest of the space in the box filled with bubble wrap.  This keeps the weight to under 28 ounces and it ships First Class Mail International very safely for $16.76.

I am not aware of any USPS flat rate box that would ship a 10-inch 78 safely anywhere outside the country for $13.95.

Best regards,

Roger Wade
