Well, there are no guarantee’s Chiefster. The first package I mailed Aussie with souvenir’s a few months ago, the one that had the DT Memorial hat from Canton, & other items…arrived safely. I mailed it Priority International.

The gal at my local post office suggested I mail the poster tube package First Class International, as it was almost $30.00 less in cost than Priority. I don’t know if that made a difference or not with it arriving safely? Priority mail is easier to track than a First Class package, so it could be whomever took the items felt they could escape the package being tracked back to them? I dunno?

Also, they require you list contents of a package specifically on the customs label, of which is adhered to the exterior of the package for anyone to read. On the poster tube it stated KC Chiefs souvenir’s, or poster…which might have drawn someone’s attention more than if I had put something less desireable?

As well, I didn’t insure the poster tube, and insured items are also kept closer watch upon with tracking, and handled more carefully…as the post office doesn’t want to have to reimburse.

So, this time around I won’t put KC Chiefs on the customs label…will put something less notable, and I will insure it also. Hopefully that will help prevent this from happening again.
