[QUOTE="Evan Saltis, post: 22110288, member: 103066"]USPS is the go to for my international shipping. I won't work with anyone else. Just be careful with your customs declaration, you may end up getting unscrupulous postal workers who will steal your package, or at least investigate it. Especially in these smaller nations. I used to ship many packages to a friend in Ukraine, who has since passed away. Almost every package I sent to him ended up being opened by postal workers there. Nothing was stolen, but they absolutely did look for valuables. I can't speak for Serbia, but this is my experience. Omn your customs form, do not write anything related to precious metals, bullion, coins, numismatica, etc. I used to buy dollar store picture frames, place the coins inside securely, and ship them in that, with 'picture frame' on the customs sheet. This worked, but still gave me anxiety as it is technically illegal.[/QUOTE]
