you tell me the horse you want over here, i can place the bet.
there are some GLOBAL PRIORITY packages at the post office...most have fixed rates. depending on what you were thinking of sending, you can pay about $9 or $13. (take the small box for US 5ers, fill it, wrap it with red VALENTINES DAYish paper, put THAT in a GLOBAL PRIORITY envelope ($9)...add a couple of old cigar magazines (weight does not matter, and some other little trinkets like candy--which will distract them on the little green customs form that you must fill out. write MAGAZINES, CANDY, gift). if you only write gift, they may enquire.
the US side should not care about tobacco, but japan DOES. rick 3985 sent me a 5er. it took 3 1/2 weeks to get to my door. AND i had to pay $5. i was irrate!
or, simply mail to my PO Box in texas. if you go this route, please enclose a detailed list for my mother...she feels pressure reporting to me what i got.
the truth is, some will probably stay till i get back. and the ones that i REALLY want, i will tell her (from the note which she will email me), and she will put them in the next package coming my way, which may be for Vday...and my birthday/anniversaries are coming up, so definitely by mid-may...so if there is a Legends Orange in there, i will smoke it before summer, guaranteed!!!
either way is fine. whichever is easier. you did not get my email this past week about my addy change??? from the library to the PO Box...the head librarian does not like to get bombed apparently!
thanks for the trouble. and yes, a fireman is helping her and teaching her how to care. they rotate my stock every friday.
