This batch is stacked and ready to go but this isn't all of them! We find with the quantity of holiday mail we ship, it is best to use priority mail "flate rate" boxes and envelopes. We can stuff them and never worry about how heavy they are because we only pay one flat rate.
Sending off a care package for Moose. It's not that hard, just pick up a B4 mailing box, stuff it full of things and as long as the package is under 2Kg it will be shipped at no cost.
What you put in them depends on the recipient. Check here for suggestions. I'd got an unscheduled call from Moose, and "Bricks" was the thing he needed most so I sent this pack with coffee & some bricks, then followed up with another 1Kg Vita Brit pack the next day.
You can find out the technical details here (ADF) or here or here.

Every package contained a bag of reindeer poop (chocolate chips) and snowman poop (marshmallows) and a funny little poem to make our troops laugh.
