Life often "scatters" loved ones in different cities and countries. However, for the holidays, you do not want to leave your loved ones without a gift, limiting yourself only to congratulations on the phone. There is a way out - you can send a gift by mail.
It is necessary
- - present;
- - the passport;
- - money;
- - surname, name, patronymic and address of the recipient.
Instructions
Step 1
This should be done in advance, preferably a month and a half before the holiday. When choosing a gift, check out the list of things that are prohibited from being sent to a specific country. In addition to weapons and drugs, each state has the right to impose its own restrictions. For example, you cannot send bed linen to Australia, lottery tickets to Canada, cordless phones to England, and jewelry to France.
Step 2
Having arrived at the post office, select the type of shipment that suits you. If the gift weighs less than two kilograms, you can send it in a small package - it will cost you much less. If the weight is more, send the present in a simple or valuable package. In the second case, you will need to indicate the cost of the items being sent, thereby insuring the parcel. The more the indicated amount, the more expensive the postage will cost you. In the case of a simple parcel, you do not indicate anything, but the post office will not reimburse you for the value of the gift if it is lost.
Step 3
Wrap the gift in such a way as to protect it from damage, but also so that it can be easily opened for inspection at customs. Bumpy polyethylene is usually best suited for these purposes. Loose substances should be packed in airtight bags.
Step 4
Write on the parcel the last name, first name, patronymic and address of the recipient, then indicate your contact information. Also complete the dispatch form using the international language or the language of the country where the addressee lives.
Step 5
Fill out the customs declaration in four copies, list in it all the items sent, their weight and value.
Step 6
Pay for the postage and keep receipts confirming payment and shipment of the gift.
