Sending postcards/packages home

[Sharkbait]

ok, how do you address postcards, letters and packages to get them back to the states....

for example, if my address is:

Joe Blow
2987 Tree Street
Houston, TX 77339

What would you write on the postcard or letter? for France? Germany? Amsterdam? London? Switzerland? are they all the same?

Hey Sharkbait (cool name, by the way. I used to call a scuba diver here at work that as a nickname..),

Simply put the address it is going to, as you did above, and add USA at the bottom. Don't worry about the return address, or they sometimes say over there, "Alternative address." You likely won't be anywhere to get it back...

what about the "Air Mail" thing or "Aero Mail-o " stuff? So you are saying just write the address and add USA at the bottom.

Sounds fairly simple.


(my last name is "Nimmo", which is pronounced "Nemo", like the fish. Nemo's nickname in the movie was......exactly)

what are the international costs for shipping packages home? Obviously it depends on size but are they in line with US mailing costs? Might be a good idea to do this for film.
