Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/13/2007 7:35:51 PM   Olegnay - but what I was trying to explain is that when you go in to the US Post Office - and send something by Global Express Mail - it IS through EMS. It actually says EMS in big letters on the documentation. That's because the US Postal Service contracts with EMS and uses their service. When I used to send something by Global Express Mail from the US to my former fiance it was handled by EMS-Moldova when she received it - because it is all EMS. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/13/2007 7:44:26 PM   Express Mail Service (EMS) is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) which created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU, a specialized agency of the United Nations, to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide. Currently EMS is offered by 138 of the 191 UPU member countries' postal authorities[1] and an integral part of their normal postal services. Seven additional countries have arrangements to deliver EMS items. An independent auditor measures the express delivery performance of all international EMS operators and the each member is awarded a Gold, Silver and Bronze certificate depending on their performance for all year and these countries are recorded in the EMS Cooperative's Hall of Fame. USPS, United States Postal Service, offers EMS but calls the service Global Express Mail, which is commonly confused with their service called Express Mail is a specific classification of mail for domestic accelerated postal delivery of the USPS.

Price was always reasonable and depended on weight. My mother sent one once with nothing valuable by normal post and it never arrived. I would highlight Ukraine all over the parcel in black marker and seems to quicken the passage of the parcel alot. I guess when they are all in piles in some sorting office the name stands out. From Ireland took about 5 working days and traveled through Heathrow airport and then onto Ukraine. My wife sent some postcards by normal post 2 weeks ago and they took a week and a half which was fine. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 11/24/2008 6:40:45 PM   olya ordered some clothes from an american internet site (vs) the other month and had to pay 50% customs duty! it seems that normal post for a parcel of up to 200 euro's doesn't cost you anything from customs. it was sent via ups /pete VK3VMS Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/30/2009 9:00:53 AM   I want to send an opal necklace (uniquely Australian!!) to my girlfriend in Ukraine, will that be a problem if I send by Registered Australian postage?? And will it get there?? Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/30/2009 12:19:07 PM   VK3VMS, Even in a 'civilised' country, such as UK, anything arriving by international mail is subject to customs inspection and import taxation if applicable. There will be a genuine import tax in to Ukraine for Opals, regardless of Ukrainian customs their postal service is corrupt, you should send something like that via DHL, UPS etc. (customs might still make life difficult though) however the courier company shall declare on the shipment paperwork what the package contains and you shall be required to pay import tax.

Weigh it, and you will see how much to pay online. I believe insurance is also included. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/15/2011 8:02:09 AM   If you use USPS - beware. Try sending a box of crackerjacks first through USPS. If it arrives unmolested THEN consider sending a phone. There are safer(more costly?) methods. bowhunter has recent experience with sending a parcel. I don't really know about Ukraine, but I know that sending a package with American postage to Russia is risky business. Make sure you use the native language in the address. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/15/2011 8:48:44 AM   I send parcels to Ukraine and Moldova quite often - and I always use USPS. Of course, I also work for USPS. Sending an iphone is risky simply because it desireable and therefore likely to get ripped off at customs. I have friend in Ukraine who tells me it is absolutely impossible to get a high tech item through the mail properly as it will be held up in customs and then a special fee of some sort must be paid. He's a nonUkrainina native who married a Ukrainian and now lives there. He drives long distance as sort of a Taxi for tourists and simply ordered a stand to hold his GMS/notebook near his dashboard. Now this item isn't really high-tech - its just associated with high-tech. Didn't matter. He had to go to Kiev and sign numerous papers to show he wasn't importing it for resale at profit. Ended up having to wait a day, pay several bribes and pay for an officals lunch before he could get the item. But that might be because he ordered it from a commercial enterprise. There is a way to avoid this problem if you are sending a gift. Its not quite legal or kosher - but it works. I know of someone who sent a camera to Ukraine - and did it by sending a multipack of Caress Soap with one of the cardboard boxes carefully opened, and the bar of soap replaced with the camera wrapped in a little paper toweling (so it didn't rattle funny). The box was then carefully reglued. Of course the camera was not declared or insured. But it made it to its intended recipient. Just an idea. Customs will confiscate things for reasons that sometimes surprise. I knew a lady who loved nacho cheese - so I sent her a can nacho cheese sauce. It was confiscated and replaced by a note saying that it was not higenic to send cheese through the mail. Regarding using the native language on the parcel - I have never done that yet - and I have never had a parcel that wasn't delivered. If using USPS it is a good idea to put her phone number in the space provided for the importers phone number. Since most mail boxes do not lock in apartment building etc. And its likely the Post Office will call her to tell her she has received a parcel. She cannot be looked up in any phone book. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/15/2011 8:59:22 AM   To be fair I must also give a little caveat here. Careful by the way about concealing anything. Just a word to the wise. My nonUkrainian driver friend tells me of a guy who made a little extra money having undeclared and concealed noebook computers sent to him from Germany for resale in Ukraine. He succeeded several times and then was caught on about his third attempt. He is now in a Ukrainian prison with quite a long sentence (don't recall how long the sentence is exactly). We would have been better off paying the bribes and for a few lunches. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/15/2011 12:38:02 PM   Yes, almost all the time, they open the packages. I have sent four digital cameras. They all went through. Then again, I didn't send them the expensive ones either. The only ones that didn't go through for some reason are them DVD movies. They stole them from my baggage at the airport twice, and they stole them from my parcel. kaykhanitta Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2011 4:49:26 AM   So i wonder how they can still ship their bottles ? http://www.buy-snake-wine.com/order/ordering-snake-wine-usa-increased -security-measures-delays-some-orders-sent-united-states.html jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2011 11:26:37 PM   Yeah - nothing says "I love you" better on Valentines Day than a $99 bottle of rice wine with a snake or scorpion in it from Vietnam. She would much rather have that than perfume, jewelry or flowers. I am sure of it. Yeah...... jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2011 11:32:04 PM   DVDs and CDs have a special signature of some sort when xrayed. Very hard to hide. On the other hand you can buy cheap DVDs on the street in any city in Ukraine. Its funny because the same vendor will often sell both the licensed version and the pirated version - and they will freely tell you that they have both. The licensed version is, of course, a little more expensive. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/29/2011 1:14:54 AM   I thought I would bring two bottles of wine from California to Ukraine, and perhaps my gf and I can have a romantic evening together. I am not into wines, so I asked my brother who is. I was confident that what I had were pretty good wines. She had two friends come over to the apartment and we drank the wine. When we ran out, I sent two ladies to go get some more. They came back with a big bottle of cheap wine. That's what we drank all night. They were happy with that. They didn't say anything about how good my wine was. Different people have different tastes, but I tend to agree with jetmba on this one.
