Posting parcel to America, help

Put the return address at the back of the envelope/box (sonewhere on top). It will be cheapest to send with Royal Mail. Go to their website, they have a price calculator which will tell you how much you're going to pay.

Any questions let me know.

Do I put the address on the front of the box or at the top where it opens? I really don't know because I've never sent a parcel before so.. Also if I take it to the post office and tell them I'm sending it to American, they'll put all the labels/Airmail stickers etc stuff that has to go on it?

The front with the delivery address and the recipient's name should look something like this:



At the post office they will stick the stamps and a customs declaration label (CN22) on the front.

Regarding pricing, here is what you're going to pay for sending a parcel under 2kg to the US:



Also, what are you sending and how much roughly is it all worth?

Thanks! But I'm confused yet again, that label is obviously typed. I thought I would just write it on a normal white label and put it on the box, or would I take the person's address with me to the post office and they would do it? Also thanks for showing me that, it's mainly just sweets/biscuits/cans of drinks, so worth less than £10 really c:

You can print it or write it with a pen, doesn't matter. You can write it straight on the envelope/box - really makes no difference.

That's fine then, no restricted contents (there is a long list of what you cannot send to other countries - it varies by country too) and a low value. Make sure you write that what you are sending is a gift on the customs label at the post office (the clerk will give it to you to complete and stick on the front of the parcel).

I didn't know where to post this, but I thought maybe someone could help me.
So basically I'm sending a parcel on Saturday to a friend in America. I don't know where to put the return address, also has anyone got a rough idea of how much it will cost? I've tried googling but it gives me so many different prices. I'm looking to get it there in about 7-10 days and it weighs around/under 2kg. I have more questions but I want to see if anyone actually answers this first, thank you

Thanks, I posted it today and it came to £23! I was JUST under the 2kg limit thankfully c:

Should have sent it by owl, that way you don't need to pay any import duty
