Anything except, alcohol and porn and things that melt.  We love to get magazines, paper book, nice personal hygene items, candy, anything that reminds us of home. A buddy of mine sends me my home town newspaper. It way late but fun to read anyway. Some guy sent us all of his old CDs and DVDs he didn't want anymore. That was cool too. Sending anything lets us know there are people back that care. Any support you show I'm sure would be greatly appreciated.

Your best source is for you to take the package to your local post office and have them weigh it for you and tell you how much postage you need.\n\nAlso, you may need to fill out a customs  declaration form asking you what you are sending... check with your local post office to make sure, you don't want the package to come back to you or get lost in the mail!

Well, underwear can protect your package. Otherwise, somebody can steal your nugget. LoL.

i believe so, but you have to make sure that the person you are sending this to is allowed to recieve it through , state and local laws. some towns do not permit such things in them.

They can only be shipped to, from or between FFL holders. Even a gift will have to go through the background checks and mandatory wait. UPS and FedEx ship guns, I think USPS may be taking them again too. \n\nBut it will have to go to a dealer at the receiving end.

The US postal service is almost always the cheapest. They are however the slowest, and probably the most likely to lose your package. The US Postal Service also has different shipping methods, depending on what you're shipping. If it's anything of value, I strongly suggest using the insurance. Next cheapest would be UPS, then FedEx. You get what you pay for, to an extent. UPS has a pretty good track record, and FedEx slightly better.

The USO offers a way to send a reminder to the troops that they are appreciated and have not been forgotten. Individuals can no longer send letters and packages marked for delivery to 'Any Service Member'. Endorsed by the Department of Defense, the USO program "Operation USO Care Package", provides individuals with a way to touch the lives of our deployed troops around the world.\n\nTo find out more, visit their site:

I don't have a recipe for you, but I do have some advice.  I am in the Navy, and have many a care package sent out to me.  Anyone who has ever been overseas will tell you, the postal service, our's and any other country's, doesn't really care about packages.  Think of it about the same as putting your luggage onto a plane.\n\nMy mother, the amazing woman that she is, found a way to protect those baked goodies you want to send.  Otherwise, the individual recieving them, will be given a box of crumbs.\n\nOnce you have baked the cookies, allowed them to cool and are ready to package them, here is what you need to do.\n\nFirst, you need the following items:\n\nBox of wax paper\nSeveral Pringles cans\n\nSecond, individually wrap each cookie in wax paper, as if you were packing your good dishes for a move.\n\nThird, once all of the cookies are wrapped, place each one into the pringles can, like they were a pringle.  Once you have filled the can, tape it up and put it into the box.  Gurauntee you that when the box reaches its destination, the person will be pleasantly suprised with only a few broken cookies and not a bag full of crumbs.

When you go to send the item, you can fill out an inventory.  Be specific and write on the inventory slip, GIFT ITEM ONLY and NOT FOR RESALE on it in Spanish.   There might even be a section where have to you declare the value.  Be honest about the contents and the value but make sure to include those terms.  \nAll of it depends on how big the package is, how much stuff is in it, and the mood of the customs agent when it arrives.  S/he might see this and just pass it on or s/he might turn out to be a royal screw.  It also depends on our trade agreement with Peru and U.S. Embassy influence in country.\nMy recommendation is to use Fedex or DHL.  Fill out the inventory slips as mentioned above.  Those companies get stuff passed through Customs alot easier.

The Postal Service usually posts an up-to-date list in the lobby of most Post Offices.\n\nOne of my sons is currently serving there.  His Commander has ordered that the rank of the soldier should not be listed on all letters and packages, just use the soldier’s name.\n\nOne good place to visit is the first site below for additional links on other packages and info.  The second site was set up for Troops in Iraq, but still has useful information.  While in Iraq during his last tour of Duty, my son said that sunscreen and “macho” lip balm were two items usually in request.  Beanie Babies (even “used ones,” to give to children) were other hot items.
