Here are some tips:
  • Unpackage all products to reduce weight/space–you can always cut out any instructions or descriptions from the packaging and send
  • Re-pack any food items in a ziplock bag – especially candy and items that will melt
  • Do NOT send jerky or seeds as they will cost me a lot to retrieve. 
Declaring and addressing the customs forms for packages:
  • You must complete a customs form (available at the post office or online at the USPS store.) Their online store will send you mailing supplies for free.
  • Do not declare a total value over $10 and always write things like “religious materials, bibles, teaching materials, candy, letters, pens, stickers, gum, paper, spices, magazines” etc.  Also, anything that appears to be over $100, I will be charged a customs fee.  I doubt this will be an issue, but if someone does and you paid less than $100 please include the sales receipt.  I am volunteering, ya know :)
Ask the person at the counter which method is cheaper depending on the size and weight it can very by 40 bucks. 

BUT letters are $1.20!!! Those are the BEST to get!!
