i say that all shipping in the USA should be done via UPS since you automatically get coverage for 100$ and the package wouldn't be that big or heavy so shipping charges will be minimal ....

shipping overseas needs to be done via USPS best and easiest way to ship ... i think your best off starting there ... and have it shipped back to you after it has made its rounds .. then start the round over here ....

I also agree with the AA powered camera ... universal power supply ... ship with no batteries included .. person receiving it puts their own batteries in it and does there thing then remove and ship on ...

this would be a cool project:thumbsup:
