    Guys

    i want to send a 100g sri lankan tea leaves packet to a friend of mine in australia.

    What's the best method to use?

    I thought of sending it through the post office

    How do i do that?

    What kind of mail type will it be?

    Like ebay sends us, can i send the item? the method ebay uses is called airmail or surface mail? i don't know much about it

    any help will be appreciated guys

    thanks

    Cheapest way is Sri Lanka Post.
    Air Mail is OK. Cost - 190 LKR
    If you want to send it via Registered Mail you have to pay additional 125 LKR.
    I recommend you to send the item under Registered mail.

    I'm in Matara. Matara Postals have all the packing items. Eg - Bubble wrap envelopes etc...

    does ebay also use the same mail type?

    does surface mail take a longer time?

    airmail how many days does it take?

    Registered mail means do they give a tracking number?
