7AAirmail M-bags  What is allowed

I actually go to the Usps.com and look up the price.. and we do add a handling  fee.  Most countries can have a m-bay that weights up to 66 pounds  but some countries like UK only allow 44 pounds.
Most packages going to Canada will be mailed out priority because it is almost the same price.. in some cases cheaper.

Recorded Delivery

Recorded delivery is the international service equivalent of domestic certified mail. It provides the mailer with a numbered mailing receipt. It also enables the sender to obtain confirmation of delivery through the purchase of a separate return receipt for an additional fee. The foreign post office retains a record of the delivery for each transaction. However, no mailing record is kept by the U.S. Postal Service.

This optional special service is available to customers who mail letter-post items (including postcards and postal cards), matter for the blind, and M-bags (direct sacks of printed matter to a single addressee) to certain specified destination countries. It does not apply to parcel post packages or to EMS shipments, nor does it afford the sender any amount of indemnity protection. The fee is $2.30. Consult your local Post Office facility for additional details.
