Info on the Blog Postings/Entries for June, 2007 About, For or On Italy

Here are the titles for my blog postings/entries for June About, For or On Italy:
+ = Blog entry has a "Sound clip". Please turn on the speakers on your PC.
* = Blog entry has been updated.

The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.

The reason that I list these links is to provide information for individuals who are dreaming, considering a move or traveling to Italy. It is my intent to share these links (web sites) with like-minded individuals who are in the process of considering, have made the decision to move or travel to Italy for whatever reason. I have attempted to group these links and to categorize them.

These blog postings and entries are not static. As I come across new information, I'll update the appropriate blog entry periodically.

I have found in my research on the Internet that by changing the wording of the search argument or the order of the wording of the search argument on a search engine, e.g., Google, you may get different results. There is so much information to choose from on the internet. Unfortunately, there's a lot of junk that clutters up one's search. I believe in my presentation format that it eliminates the need for one to do multiple searches. Also, I believe this information is a baseline or starting point for an individual to conduct their own search and they do not have to reinvent the wheel or start from scratch.

I am open to suggestions and solicit comments from the readers of this blog entry for your feedback.

That's it for Sunday, 1 July 2007: domenica, 1 luglio 2007.

Ciao, Ben

Info on shipping books and printed materials via USPS M-bag to Italy

Here are the links on shipping books and printed materials via USPS M-bags to Italy:

INFORMATION
USPS (UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE)
COMMENTS/OBSERVATIONS
The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

As quoted above, "M-bags is a special service to send books or printed matter to an international address at a reduced postage rate.". As noted by some of the discussions above, sometimes they don't show up at all and there is no way to track them. However, the price is right to send books and printed material to Italy or an international address.

M-bags are now going by air as of May 14, 2007. The days of low cost, surface shipping of book and printed material via M-bags and USPS are gone. The current rates are listed in Country Conditions for Mailing — Italy section of the IMM Issue 34 - International Mail Manual. However, M-bags are a bargain in comparison to commercial shipping, e.g., FedEx, UPS, etc.

That's it for Friday, 29 June 2007: venerdì, 29 giugno 2007.

Ciao, Ben

For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

The above links as of this date are/were current. If anyone has any suggestions for any other additional web sites and/or links for reference, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry.

Please note: If you want me to reply by email to your comment or request for further information, please include your email address in a separate comment. I will NOT publish any comments with an email address in it.

Broken links: Since November, 2005, I have written over 300+ blog entries with 1,000's of corresponding links/URLs for Moving2Italy2, covering a varied and wide range of topics. In the event if you come across a broken link or a non-functioning link/URL, please post a comment and report the non-functional link. I wish to thank you in advance for assisting me in the ongoing maintenance and the updating of this successful and informative blog.

The reasons my wife and I are considering on shipping our 2007 Nissan Versa to Italy are the following:
  1. It's a new vehicle bought in July, 2006 and has under 22K miles.
  2. It's a compact and gets 30 miles per gallon (MPG) city; 36 MSG highway.
  3. Given the present exchange rate, as of this date, we feel buying a used car in Italy would not be in our best interest.
  4. We plan on traveling around Italy and other countries in Europe.
However, we need to find out some other information (availability of parts, etc.) and consider also Italian vehicle regulations before we make our final decision.

That's it for Tuesday, 27 March 2007: martedì, 27 marzo 2007.
