Guys,

I am thinking of sending a bracelet to my girlfriend by postal mail from the US to the Philippines. I placed the bracelet in the cardboard so that it wont be obvious that there is jewelry inside the normal sized letter-envelope. I plan to use $4.35 worth of postage stamps.

Just would like to ask if the 4.35 postage would already be enough and do you think it would be safe to send the jewelry by mail? Thanks

john

How long will you be in the dog house if it doesn't arrive .

Seriously, I would at least check to see the price of insurance. Within the U.S., it's fairly inexpensive. But I'm not sure about to the Philippines.

Just my $0.02 -- KirkS
