DON'T USE UPS ( they want u to buy a seat on the aircraft) , then they will contract to the cheapest flight going that way, I have been told USPS still does "Priority Mail" , Don't say ur shipping any type tubacco , Cigars, booze, (the person u r sending to has to pay taxes on the items u send them)
Trust me I learn the hard way , shiped a Secret Santa to the UK, UPS charged me $125.00 for a 14 LBS box , when they labeled it , it said 14 LBS, Item were 3 box's cigars, T-Shirts, and other items, wellllllllll when it gets to the UK I get an email from this guy stating he was refusing the box as it was going to cost him over $500.00 US , not sure what that in in UK ( But it was a allot,) I ending up emailing the UK postoffice , gave them a line of BS and told them there was only a 3 fiver of cigars, Not 3 boxs of cigars and ask if I could pay for the Tax in US Currency , Long story short, it cost him 50 US dallors to get a gift.....Thank u Mother Queen
