How to prepare a parcel?
Pack things you want to ship into a strong cardboard box. Ensure that all pieces are packed tightly. If necessary, fill gaps with paper or other material. Seal the box with a packaging tape. Write sender's (in the top left corner) and recipient's (in the center) addresses on the box. Weigh the parcel. Calculate shipping fees and insurance. Put your check or money order along with Shipping Declaration into an envelope. 
Address it to

 seal it and tape it over the recipient's address. The parcel is ready for shipping.

Please note, that Shipping Declaration is required by customs and insufficient parcel declaration may prevent us from delivering your parcel.

Please be advised, that actual sea and air parcels' weight used to calculate shipment charges applies only to gift parcels with content like food or clothes. Different rules apply to large size and underweight parcels. Correct charges for a such sea parcel can be based on a weight calculated by multiplying length x width x height of a parcel box in inches, divided into 140 producing valid parcel weight in lbs.
formula: ( length x width x height ) / 140 = parcel weight in lbs
Air parcel weght should be calculated by multiplying length x width x height of a parcel box in inches, divided into 166 producing valid parcel weight in lbs.
formula: ( length x width x height ) / 166 = parcel weight in lbs
Please calculate charges based on a larger of actual weight or calculated weight using above formula.
