As far as I'm aware once a shipment leaves the u.s. the postal service has no way of tracking it anymore since it's out of their system. So they use other methods like FedEx or ups and that is more expensive. I sent a bunch of stuff to Greece with the us postal service because it was so cheap about a decade ago paid for tracking and it disappeared once it left the country. US postal service told me they can't track packages in other countries... maybe it will turn up and get delivered sometime. Never again. The cheap becomes the expensive. Maybe it has something to do with this and the extra cost of FedEx or UPS tracking to ensure delivery is what's going on. I'd never use the USPS for an international shipment again. There's also additional customs costs, even if it's customs free, there's still processing charges involved on either side, the u.s. for the export and Germany for the import.[/QUOTE]
