FIRST CLASS MAIL
First class mail ($.37) is the fastest way to send material which weights less than 11 ounces. First Class Overseas mail requires a $.50 stamp.
THIRD & FOURTH CLASS MAIL
The only difference between third and fourth is the weight limit. If your parcel is less than 1 (one) pound send it third class, but if it is heavier, use fourth class. You can not send letters third or fourth class. Fourth and Third classes mail are used to send gifts and merchandise.
For mailing packages, there is a 44 lb. weight limit for almost all countries. You can mail your packages by boat or airmail. Boat mailing is slower but cheaper than airmail ($6.55 for first two pounds, $2.10 for each additional pound).
It is very important to check with the post office before mailing your package to another country because there are different regulations for each country. You cannot send specific materials and there are different dimensions or weight obligations. LETTERS MAY NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE PARCEL UNLESS THE POSTAGE FOR THE LETTER IS ALSO PAID.
A/O rate is a special reduced rate for parcels less than 4 lbs. and height + length less than 36 inches. A/O rate has no insurance coverage on the package.
