Pete, be very careful with the Postal service, at least U.S. Postal if you are driving across the border to ship. I was told by them that when a package is sent to another country that it is often transferred to that country's post office (or another carrier) and that the insurance you pay for originally is useless at that point. If the package is damaged after that transfer you are out of luck. This was a couple of years ago when I was sending turbines to Denmark...Gary
