Package Mailed

I mailed my package yesterday. I have never sent internationally so I hope I did everything right.

Shipped my package but it has a long flight from the UK. But a note to my recipient..... you will receive two packages from me as I ordered your most wanted and had it sent directly to you.

@LAF2019 Your package arrived! I am going to assume it’s secret Santa and not a 2lb ornament swap box 🤣. Thank you! I assume we have an opening day?

I revised my shipment and managed to get the amount of duty I had to pay to less, but it still cost me in duty fees to send the package and then again in shipping charges. I hope that my recipient does not have to pay at her end because that would just be too much. It would be easier to ship overseas than across the southern border. Anyway, Canada Post is still in rotating strike action so I am hoping that the parcel travels directly south and crosses into the US Postal System before being caught in some warehouse under lockdown.

It's the "de minimus" thing. https://www.canadapost-postescanada....id=murl_jh_782

I got a package from British Columbia today! Thanks, BZang! It is all tucked away for opening day.

I checked the status of the package I sent today. All I see is "in transit". It did have quite a ways to go...north and wayyyy west.

Also, I received an envelope from Amazon Wednesday. When I saw it, I thought "hmmm...I don't remember ordering from Amazon." But then I have been doing some ordering lately, so figured I forgot about something and ripped into the package. Oops! I think it must be from my Secret Santa as I believe I mentioned these items on my list...
