I forgot to put the country (US) on one of my international trades, I think. The name, address, and postal code are all on there. Not to mention there is US postage on it. Do you think there will be any problems?Shipping from Canada -> United States

You can use US postage from Canada?

I've heard as long as you have the Postal or Zip Code and a name you can get things to people (obviously does still have a chance of being returned)The zip code does tell the country/state or province and city of a letter. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 11000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario 13th in posts on MOTL Top 5 in Refs in Ontario (by people who location posted)

I'm sure they can figure it out.

I once sent out and item through Purolator – it quite something. I paid $50 for overnight to New York and the item never reached the intended party. After two weeks the item was returned to the post office. My name was written on all over the package on various stickers. But there was this one very small sticker – on the side of the package where my name was not on. That is the reason they sent it back. Not really the same thing... but I am always skeptical about people handling mail. In fact, I am just skeptical about people in general.

This should be fine. It just needs to get TO the US, then we don't need the country name on there. I'm sure Canada deals with mail to the US enough that they know when there's a 5-number postal code with an English address instead of a 6-character mix of letters and numbers with a space in the middle, it's probably US mail.
