I was gonna say something of the minimum requirements, but sometimes a homemade gift is worth more.

Wasn't sure if we were traveling for Christmas yet and it turns out we are. If an intermediary can contact my SS to either find out if the gift will arrive before the 18th, or if they can ship to a different address I would much appreciate it.
Otherwise they won't get their proper thanks until closer to the new year.

I would ask nicoga3000. Maybe you could tell us the country you're going to send to? It shouldn't give away too much I think.
I'll put the situation in spoilers here:
They are based in Germany. They wanted some games and part of my gift is some cool limited editions. However, looking at the customs prohibited List, Video Games are listed on it for posting over there.
I'll pm nicoga3000 about it after work today.
Yeah, games are no problem at all. I've imported games from the US/Canada and Asia many times without problems. At most, they'll have to pay fees but as a gift it should be excluded. Also, don't lie on the customs form, not to where you're sending. It's never a good idea in my experience.
Well, in case on Finland and I suppose it's the same for all of the EU, If a gift exceeds the value of 45 euros it will get stuck in customs and I need to be able to declare what's inside. I mean I need to know what's inside and the value before I can even see it. Yeah it's dumb.
My advice is, if you are sending to EU from outside EU. Label gift and the value smaller than 45€. They wont peek inside to see if it's actually 46€ if you know what I mean...

They shouldn't but I wouldn't put it past the German customs office to open it anyway if it looks suspicious (too large etc.).
Your haiku is great
It's more lucky than sucky

My answer will be "I'm not responsible for your gift getting confiscated.
However.
I've shipped alcohol across the country and never declared it as a liquid.

So, before all this haiku craziness broke out and no one answered, you'll probably have to talk to nicoga3000 about this, since he'd be the only one who knows who everyone's SS is.
Received a package from my SS. I wasn't intending to open it until Xmas, but since I sent it to my family's home (where I'll be over the holidays), my mom opened it and sent me a picture with no warning because she didn't even look at the label.
So yeah. Anyways, I really appreciate the gifts :) I'll post pictures when I get the chance.
I've also secured all of my presents for my TT, but It'll be a little bit before I can send them due to finals next week. Plus I have an idea for packaging that I want to try out.

To my TT for info
Could someone assist?
Not bad for my first Haiku since middle school.
EDIT: Taken care of

There will be three more
Friday, Monday, and who knows
When the last will come
Ooh~ So exciting!
I'm so grateful for these gifts.
Dorm mail room is bad.
Only if it gets stuck in customs! If it's labeled as gift and the value under 45€ it should be all good.
how do they know? im in the US i thought i just put that stuff in a box and mail it lol
You need to fill in a form at the post office and that form is stamped on top of the package. They ask what's inside (gift) and the monetary value.
Then, if for some reason it gets stuck you need to communicate with your TT so they can fill a form (yeah I know) at their end and declare what's inside and the value.
I just ordered the stuff for my TT. Hope they like it. With one of the items, I have minimal reason to believe they would be inclined like it. But it's good.
