She is living in Thailand for now, so I wanted to be careful with my packages. I’d heard of packages going missing and I didn’t want mine to join the casualty. Here was how I sent my packages overseas and I think it should be applicable for almost any country:-
  • Pack the items in a bubble lined envelope (easily found at any stationery shop) and seal it properly with postage tape
  • Send it by registered post which requires the recipient to acknowledge receipt
  • Make sure to fill out the green customs form with the contents and value. Give a low value if you don’t know how much it is.
  • Keep hold of your registered post receipt until your recipient confirms receipt.

That’s all there is!

I’m happy to report my friend received her package within a week and all was well! :)
