Re: Care Package to Afgan~

Just want to make sure you're aware...

If you pay for the postage on USPS's web site (and print your own labels), they'll give you about a 5% discount, plus free Delivery Confirmation on Priority Mail. Also no waiting in line at the Post Office.

I can't tell for sure, since the Priority rates just went up, but I think the online rates are still discounted over what you'd pay at the counter even for the special APO/FPO Priority boxes.

Link: Click-N-Ship (you'll need to create an account the first time).

You can also see the discount rates before registering/logging in by using their Rate Calculator.

I use half-page sticky labels for my stuff, but you can print on regular paper and glue it to the box. Either way, it's a good idea to put a strip of packing tape over the "to" address (but don't cover any of the bar codes).

Also noticed this note when I checked the rates just now...
Quote:
ZIP Code 96607 Restrictions
A1. Mail addressed to 'Any Servicemember' or similar wording such as 'Any Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine', 'Military Mail', etc., is prohibited. Mail must be addressed to an individual or job title, such as 'Commander', 'Commanding Officer', etc.

B. Form 2976-A required for all mail weighing 16 ounces or more, with exceptions noted below. In addition, mailers must properly complete required customs documentation when mailing any potentially dutiable mail addressed to an APO or FPO regardless of weight. The following are exceptions to the requirement for customs documentation on non-dutiable mail weighing 16 oz. or more:
B. a. Known mailers (those legally applying a permit imprint to a mailpiece) are exempt from providing customs documentation on non-dutiable letters and printed matter weighing 16 oz. or more. Mail with meter postage is not considered to be from a known mailer.

B. b. Federal, state, and local government agencies are exempt from providing customs documentation, except on mail to APOs/FPOs to which restriction B2 applies.

B. c. Prepaid mail from military contractors is exempt, providing mailpiece is endorsed 'Contents for Official Use-Exempt from Customs Requirement'.
B1. Form 2976 or 2976-A required. Articles liable for customs duty and/or purchase tax unless bona fide gifts intended for use by military personnel or their dependents. When contents of a parcel meet these requirements, mailer must endorse customs form, 'Certified to be a bona fide gift, personal effects, or items for personal use of military personnel and dependents', under the heading, Description of Contents.

Exceptions: All exceptions listed in restriction B are applicable to this restriction.

V. Express Mail Military Service (EMMS) not available.

Re: Care Package to Afgan~

Flat-rate boxes are good for as much weight that you can stuff into them (up to some huge amount you'll never reach, like 70 lbs). No problems there. Just get a close weight using a bathroom scale, or comparing to groceries

Re: Care Package to Afgan~

K folks I know it has taken me a while to send these off but I sent the first package off today as I needed some help with custom forums. The lady was very nice and I plan to send the rest of the packages off tomorrow.
