Actually I only needed one, I was thinking there might be a couple of
other Canuks that wanted some.

I use the online Post Office system and print the shipping label that
includes the customs form on the 'ol laserjet. I am sure you can do that
with US Post as well.

How thin are the slots on your mailboxes? Like a household slot (about
two inches) or thinner? No wonder so many folks in the US don't like
using the US Postal service if you can't easily mail things off!
