How Can You Send Packages?

 

The United States Postal Service can send you free of charge priority flat rate boxes along with the paper work for sending packages over seas. Call 1-800-610-8734. Know that they will come 25 boxes to an order. There are two different size flat rate boxes. 11 x 8.5 x 5.50-order number-0-FRB1 (this is the one I mostly use) 11.875 x 3.375 x 13.625-order number-0-FRB2. No matter how much the box weighs or where it is going, the flat rate cost is $12.35 (medium) and $14.85 (Large APO). Priority address label-5 3/4 x 4-order number 228. Customs Declaration Form-order number-2976A and the envelope form 2976E. I only suggest you order if you need more than a few boxes. You can go to your local post office if you are only sending a few boxes and they will help you to fill out the information on the customs label. You do have to list all items in the box on the customs form. I do take items out of as much packaging as possible and put items into zip lock bags to keep items fresh, clean from sand and they reuse the zip lock bags. Home baked cookies are wrapped in wax paper then put into individual zip lock bags to keep them fresh and germ free. This way when the cookies are opened to share with others, no germs will be transferred from one person to another. It also protects against the sand getting into the goodies. I do hope I was able to answer some of your questions.
