Yes, but shipping to the UK would be too expensive :-)
Effective May 30th, 1999 the United States Postal Service changed it's
"Global Priority Flat Rate Envelope" service to $9 US for up to 4 pounds if
it will fit in a USPS 10"X12" Envelope.
This size package would take a couple of S100 cards wrapped in anti-stat &
bubble wrap.
This is a much cheaper international rate that the USPS is starting to
promote. Their web site is www,usps.com. The rate calculators work best. The
new international rate sheet is in Adobe pdf format and loads slowly (19
pages). The calculators are html but are not updated yet.
A 6"X8" envelope is $5, and, I think, up to 4 pounds. I have used the small
envelope to ship software to Hong Kong.
