Soldato
Someone I've come to know over a few months from a baking forum has been helping and basically teaching me stuff, as baking has become a hobby of mine. The person lives in California. She's very kindly offered to send me, for free, a particular baking tin and some american cake flour, both of which are hard to find here. She insists I don't buy a tin as she has plenty not being used. But of course it's going to cost her a fair bit in postage which kind of makes me feel a little uneasy. Do you think I should offer to reimburse her postage costs, is that the right thing to do or should I just accept her kind offer? I suspect she would refuse to accept my reimbursement offer but maybe I should at least offer.
Secondly, and no doubt a bit of a silly question , what would be the best format to give someone in the US for my london address to make sure it definitely gets here?
According to Google ' The USPS prefers that all mail to England, Scotland, or Wales be addressed with GREAT BRITAIN. Northern Ireland should be addressed as NORTHERN IRELAND. (The United States Postal Service has computer systems that use UK as an abbreviation for "Ukraine".)'
What would be your preferred format of these six permutations:
London,
postcode,
GREAT BRITAIN
