Im about to send off a care package to my boyfriend.Im not sure if I should leave out on the customs form or not that there is a movie in it.Have any of you left it out?

I always just write dvds and we've never had a problem.

ETA: He usually gets two in every package and a package every 3 weeks or so, so I've sent quite a few. :)

Oh okay thanks.I feel better about sending it now.

I always just make sure I insure whatever I'm sending that way if anything does happen to go missing even though we've never had a problem I can claim it and get my money back.

personally i wouldnt write dvd's on there. db has said not to write anything that others may really want. so i usually leave things like that off of the customs from. but hopefully it will be fine if you do write it! :)

If you don't write it on there, and they see something not listed on the form while it's x-rayed, they can take it out and you have nothing to go on as far as insurance.

Don't ever leave stuff out, that's how things disappear without getting it back.

:agree Just be generally specific. Don't say it's "pirates of the caribbean DVD" say "dvd"

I just write like 4 dvd's on it and put the price of how much they were of course.

I send him like 10 DVDs at a time and always note it. It has never been a problem.

oh crap! lol i dont know they could just take stuff out... i usually dont write it ALL because i send Monster drinks sometimes and i dont think you can send liquid? lol so i dont write it on there... hmmm plus Kevin is a butt and always reads it first! haha whats the fun in that

The USPS woman told me that I can be generic and they won't care. She said I can write "toiletries, snacks, stationary, dvds" so that I can fit it all on the customs form.

I put a packing list on the inside of the box too. On one flap I write the contents and on the other flap I write DBF's address. That way if the label comes off they can get the package to him, AND he can double check that no one has tampered with what he was supposed to get. :wink

when I am generic the post office told me to be specific. They wont allow us to just write toiletries for example. You have to list each item. You can say toiletries and list all of them in parenthesis next to it. I guess different post offices are a little more relaxed about it.

I guess we can't expect the US post office to be the same across locations. :duh

Oh well! How many SOS'ers does it take to send a DVD? :hystericlaugh

LOL, I'll probably be freaking about this all in a week or so... I just realized that it's July already and DB's B-day is in AUGUST! Eek.
