Please note there are several options in mailing letters/packages.
1. Please do NOT use FedEx or UPS. Our understanding is that it will result in sizeable customs fees on our end, as well as high charges on your end.
2. You can use the U.S. Post Office. The post offices on this end tend to open packages, but they usually don't remove anything. (Though we did hear a story of someone who recieved a Christmas tin full of candy wrappers!) Letters aren't a problem, but it is quite costly to mail packages from the post office and takes about 2 weeks to arrive, we've heard.
3. For small packages, you can e-mail us to see if someone from the States is about to visit Kyiv, and then have them hand-carry it. This is the most reliable method, but the timing isn't predictable.
4. Also, there is an Ukrainian company that ships things from the US and takes care of making sure everything clears customs. It is reliable, though it takes quite awhile. According to my information, you address the package to us and over it tape an envelope with Ameripol's address and enclose $10 plus $.55 a pound. Please contact this company first, though, to verify shipping costs and procedures.
