Ok- Sally just gave me instructions, and I don''t want to keep bothering her so I''m asking you nice pricescopers to help me just a bit more. She says to ship item by REGISTERED MAIL - but did you guys mail in an envelope or just a packaged box USING the "BROWN TAPE" I''m not sure why registered? even though I would just declare a value of $15 like she has mentioned. Any insight - I just want to make sure my gems don''t go off to LaLa Land, I know how to mail it in the states, but going international I haven''t done a package before. Thanks in advance.
