Ya good and bad in here ..

Small packet air no more insurance that sucks..

Small packet surface NEVER USED so no issue there

USA Trackable package useless paypal expedited is the same price..

Intertational much cheaper then XXpress post but still not something I will use unless I only want to sell 1 DVD a year. I don't understand why I can ship it for roughly $6-$10 to the UK but to add a barcode to have the employee scan cost $30 more.

These changes are pretty useless
