What to keep in mind when preparing your care package

• You and your sibling or friend don’t want to get in trouble with the law. So, please don’t ship any items that are on the list of restricted and prohibited items.
• Do you want to surprise your sibling with some food items? Keep in mind that not all food items are allowed. Want to know what is hot and what’s not? Check our dedicated food page to know exactly how to go about shipping food.
• Would you like to present your sibling with a new phone or even a TV? Then it is good to know that shipping electronics is possible. However, two things should always accompany the shipment:
  • The original invoice.
  • The original packaging.

Without both these things, the standard insurance coverage will not apply to your shipment.

• We live in a world that is full of batteries in all sorts. When you want to send batteries to your sibling, for example, because they are part of the toy or piece of electronics you have purchased, you should know that batteries are not allowed in transport via air. When you are not sure if this is the case for your shipment, reach out to our customer service to help you find out.
