Go to your post office and they will tell you what to do. Basically you buy the packaging there, then you give the address, and then you pay the shipping you want. Costs vary and it also depends where in the world you are shipping. ---

If u want shipping insurance do priority. If u don’t care u can go the cheaper route and do first class. Priority comes with tracking but with first class it’s like 90 cents to add tracking and tracking is definitely recommended. ---

Put the Yoyo in a box with bubble wrap because then It won’t have tons of letters and packages on top of it instead of a padded envelope.
