(Note: FIRST: Be aware that this method can take time (anywhere from 3-6 weeks for me to receive it) so be aware of what you are sending particularly if it is perishable. SECOND: ONLY SEND PACKAGES THROUGH USPS!! Past missionaries that I've talked to said that any other carriers will have customs fees and will never arrive to the missionary.)
