Just one piece of advice: Refrain from entering the shipping container only out of a desire to utilise some of the tools you recently purchased. Wait until you actually need to ship that package abroad before doing so. Wait until the forwarder is really there if you are mailing it domestically. Consider the shipping agency who will take delivery of the container containing your product. If you are working with an overseas service and are prepared to pay the shipping agent, you might want to consider leaving your item on the ground next to their desk. When you need to mail a package, the forwarder acts as a taxi driver waiting for you. But keep in mind that they will transport your stuff elsewhere on their dime.
