[78-L] A Package to India

[David Lennick]

This is what I found on the USPS site, good to 4 pounds:

Priority Mail® International Small Flat Rate Box**More info about Priority 
Mail® International Small Flat Rate Box**
Maximum Value for Contents: $400.00
USPS-Produced Small Box: 8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8".
Maximum weight 4 pounds.
	6 - 10 business days 	
$13.95
	
Boxes, that I've got. Packing, that I've got.

This keeps the weight to under 28 ounces and it ships First Class Mail International very safely for $16.76.
