Careful. The Norwegian postal service almost ripped me a new one for having the gall to ship a microcontroller, a thermometer and a couple of accelerometers to myself; apparently, buried somewhere deep in some regulation is the fact that shipping live datalogging equipment is a big no-no. Their legal department assured me this was par for the course for UPI (International Postal Union) menber countries.
Among the observations I made was that the tallest drop a package had to endure going through the sorting machine in Trondheim was 62cm (2ft).
