how does international mail work?

It works like any postal system. Example I post a letter from Newport, South Wales, UK to California. I write on the full address, then I put in the post box, from then which it is taken to the local sorting office where it is sorted and taken to the main sorting office, where it is then sorted and taken to the Airport, where it is flown to New York, from there it is sent to the Local Sorting Office in California to which the letter is addressed, then then postman delivers it to the Addresses the next morning, puts it through the letter box.

That depends on the mail service you got, buy normally you'll have to enter to the options configuration of your mail account and change your nationality. Occasionally, there will be an option to set the language of your account without changing anything else.

At the sign up for a mail address you choose the country you are in.

It can be sent via regular mail, but certified is a better option. For international checks it can take up to 30 days to clear out.

NOPE. My boyfriend was stationed in Afghanistan for 8 months, so I had to learn all this crap...sending priority mail really doesn't do anything but get it to their distribution center that much faster. It'll wait there until there's space available for it. You have to send it USPS--you know how UPS and FedEx can't deliver to PO boxes? That's because PO Boxes are part of the USPS system & the good ole gov't is gonna make sure only THEY can deliver there, right? American troops are also "owned" by...you guessed it...the gov't. You must send it USPS. Standard postage will cover a letter, but any package or anything will have to have documentation; you just have ot fill out a form stating contents of the package (so that they know you're not sending any contraband), estimated value, etc. Do be aware tho--they can still open/search the package, so if you're going to send them stuff they're not "supposed" to have...you gotta be sneaky about it. ; ) Depending on what their particular job is there, they will be more/less likely to get their stuff searched.

You'd be surprised how regulated the post is. Think one day, one stop, then apply the hub and spoke system. New York is a hub, Mexico City, and so on. I was surprised to find mail make it's way from Denmark to the center of the USA within 3 days (\nfor the cheapest stamp!! Copenhagen is a hub) Just think, planes are flying everday between europe and north america with mail - isn't it amazing. smaller countries in africa may send their mail to South Africa, Kenya, Cairo, etc, before it is flown out.

U can call the company where u got it from use their customer service. They are usually very good at that. They can call the us mail because they have to keep track of the items they send out. I hope i was of some help.

You can't, if they only ship to the UK then you'd have to know someone here that they could send it too and then the person you know can pass it on.

International postage can be calculated with this tool on the postal service site http://ircalc.usps.gov/

you have to look at store policy or item description to find out if they ship internationally. some do - some don't.

If you deliver them to your post office EARLY the day before, then there is a fair chance it would get delivered on the desired day.\n\nOften there is a time cut-off for delivery (especially if you are using a mailbox drop, read the pickup times sticker).  In small towns you may want to add a day or two because in some cases the mail goes to another city to be sorted and returned, so if your letter gets to the other town after their next-day cut-off there will be a delay.\n\nOur sorting system may get bad press, but I read a while back about how Italians had better luck if they mailed their letters first to Switzerland because of the demands by participation in the international postal organization they belonged to.  One member of the Italian parliment asked if the head of the Italian post office could promise "same month delivery".  He couldn't.\n\nGood luck.

The email actually does not go from Ireland to Japan. The email which you send goes to your email server, which then takes care of sending it to the email server of the recipient.\n\nSo, if both of you are using yahoo mail, it wouldn't take more than a few seconds. but if both of you are using a different mail servers, for example like a university mail server, then it might take a lot of time depending on the policy of your mail server. some mail servers deliver mails every few minutes instead of as and when they receive it.

It doesnt matter at all. E-mail is not like phones with local or international calls. You can send email to anybody anywhere around the globe as long as you have its email address.

the post office has a special "printed matter" rate for books- i don't know if that applies to books sent overseas..its cheaper than the regular parcel post rate-- its slower but cheaper...
