Aren't many DDFers in my neck of the woods.

Can't hurt to ask. And if you're a really good logistical coordinator, maybe you can arrange for your package to have a stopover or two

Nope but I think you underestimate the power of DDF.

Neck of woods >>> Point A >>> Point B? >>> Israel

I think that's pushing the logistical capabilities of DDF but I'd love to be proven wrong. If it was more important than I would try much harder but how much is it going to cost to ship anyway?

True. But you did ask for the CHEAPEST...

True, it's a function of convenience though, at some point it becomes too annoying to be worth the money that you're saving.

What's the cheapest way to send an envelope (3 PP's) from the U.S. to Israel?

Just drop it in any mailbox.

I'm buying a lot of appliances here and have the choice of paying with an Israeli card and getting free 36 month financing or with Amex and getting Purchase Protection. What are the chances of Amex honoring a claim for an appliance bought and installed in Israel?

I had them cover a microwave that broke within 90 days, but this was 7 years ago.

being that it's eight hours to the zman we could compromise somewhat as long as it's chassisdishe shechita. I'm not too familiar with hechsherim in Israel. Where could I try?
