Q. Hi, I live in the USA and need to send a nice gift basket/hamper to Australia. I have spent countless hours online with no luck. The best USA gift basket sites have very limited choices in international delivery, while the Australian hampers would be nothing original. Does anyone have experience in ordering a quality gift online to be sent out of the country? At this point I feel like my best bet is to shop for an Australian hamper to be sent within Australia. I just wanted some neat american cheese or wine I guess... Thanks in advance.
A. Before you buy anything outside Australia for sending into Australia, you should check out on the customs pages as there are numerous items that cannot be imported in (without a special licence).
especially food products.
Have you thought about perhaps making a little gift basket up yourself? Have a think about items (not necessarily food) that is more Americanised (ie obvious choices for someone sending from aus to us would be boomerang, kangeroo, koala etc) That would be original! (and would probably save you money too!) have a thought as to what the person you are sending to likes!\\
Good luck!

Does border security have the right to open parcels/letters in international delivery?
Q. I just received a trumpet as a gift from my uncle (he's in USA and I'm in Canada) and it got scratched because the border inspectors opened it to check what was inside and they were careless.
Does border security have the right to do that?

A. Yes, and I hope they do, considering all the crap that people smuggle.
I sent a package to Brazil via USPS. What happens to packages that cannot be delivered during normal hours?
Q. I sent a package to Rio for my friends birthday. My friend in Brazil works during the day and cannot receive the package during normal delivery hours. They have already made 2 delivery attempts but she lives alone and nobody will be home the next time they deliver it. I tried searching online but could not find any info about what will happen after the 3rd time a delivery attempt is made and she does not receive it. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated
A. well UPS normally there is no pickups, cause its an outside company. private one. its an express service and depends of what u send to her, cause customs could CHARGE money for it. even if is a gift :( sorry im brazilian and our rules are ridiculous.. i had seen 68 yo lady having to pay big big money for towels and gifts from her daughter from usa.. just because they look fancy and pricy.
Anyway, usps charged me once for my victorias secrets package in my building, i had to go downstairs and pay the delivery guy the customs charges (around 258 reais).
So if they try twice and there is a custom charge, you have to call the american post office and they will track it down and say to you where it is, if is back to brazilian custom and she can pick it up in AEROPORTO GALEAO (federal police head quarters) or it will send back to you (and u will pay the delivery back to usa expenses :( )
hope she got it
