<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 1066393, member: 5398"]I couldn't find any information online that said the value of a small flat rate box can't exceed $400, so I drove to the Post Office and asked the clerk, who said it's $2,400 (at first she thought I was referring to insurance, so I had to clarify my question a couple of times and am still not sure if her answer is correct). </p><p><br /></p><p>And as Marie Forjan and Evelyb30 pointed out, it's illegal to state a lower value on the customs form. Anyway, I think I'll give International shipping another try, but I'll limit the countries to just the 14 that USPS provides tracking. If the necklace sells, I'll use ShipCover for insurance, although they only insure up to $1000 (I doubt the necklace would go that high). So thank you to antidiem for getting me to rethink shipping internationally. I may even try it for a few of my other listings now that I know more about the process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
