I posted this in another thread, but wanted to be sure the Australian members had a chance to read it.
Following is a cut-and-paste from Twoshadows' e-mail to me regarding how to send your medals.
Send the packages to Australia and Turkey by Registered Mail. Insurance is basically worthless after it leaves the country so don't bother. ($40 is all you will get) Registered Mail will take a tad bit longer but is 99.9% guaranteed to be delivered. A Registered Mail package must be in a white envelope or box and have every edge covered with brown shipping tape to prevent any tampering from any direction. Also lie on the customs declaration. Use the term hobby supplies and keep the value to Australia below $100. Do the same for the other foreign deliveries but list the value at $10. Check them all as a GIFT! Just go Registered by air mail first class as they call it now. At least here they do!
