SEND USING A POST OFFICE FLAT RATE BOX OR ENVELOPE
1. If sending a package or padded envelope, seal really well and write "air mail" or "par avion" on everything!!!
2. Mail is less likely to be open or stolen if you write the address and red ink and if it appears to be religious material. Throw on an "I love Jesus" bumper sticker, draw some crosses, add a "Sister" in front of my name, or write your favorite Bible verse.
3. If sending letters, please number them as you go, since the mail system is a little iffy, some letters may come at different times, or not at all.
5. Try to be as vague as possible on the customs forms without lying so that people will be less interested in going through it! Whenever possible use the term "USED" to describe everything and take all tags off (ex: USED clothes, USED books).
6. Be sure to certify and insure mail if possible, and claim it as miscellaneous. Express mail is useless, don't bother.
THANKS!
