Since sending one biiig package over the pond is much, much cheaper
than sending lots of itty-bitty packages, I was wondering whether
someone in the US would like to play post office.  I send one package
containing lots of other packages (fully addressed and stuff), you
receive the package, open it, and send all the smaller packages on.
I'll include postage for the small packages, of course.

How much does, uhm, a 125g (1/4 pound) package cost to ship within the
US?  (As I haven't got the caps yet, I don't know for sure how much
they weigh, so this is all preliminary.)

The main problem would be the customs.  I could mark the biiig package
as a gift and give it a low value, though.
