Does the UK
offer any king of Book Rate or Media Rate
shipping?
Not that I've ever heard of. 1st class, 2nd class, and various
options for parcels.
The US Postal Service does and it's
a LOT cheaper
than even surface mail. But you have to ask for it. It's not
even shown as an option for international shipping on their website.
If I ever ship from the US again I'll be sure to ask for that. Is
it actually available for international shipping?
It is for some areas including the UK and Australia but I don't know if
it's available worldwide. As I said, it doesn't even show up as an option
on their website so you have to ask for it. Around here you have to go to
the post office and get a large canvas sack to put it in and fill out a tag
that goes on the sack. I've sent stuff via bookrate for years and never had
to do that before. I suspect that they're just making us do their job!
