We just put our lace in a padded envelope, mark "doilies, handkies, motifs," on the Customs forms with "Gift", and "NCV" (No commercial Value)- No mention of lace, and post it. We do not Insure it - as I remember the Chat from last year (or 18 months ago) about Insured postage going astray more often than uninsured post. If it looks insignificant then it will (Hopefully) get through. Just don't draw attention to it. Here in Oz, the Post Office ask to see a Drivers Licence, before they accept a parcel (Unless they know you well, - like my P.O. does), and then put an orange security sticker on it - to show it does not have any bombs, poisons, etc in it!! I think all countries are supposed to do that, but Oz is the only one that actually does comply!
As my friend who sends her lace away with mine, says, - the value cannot be compensated for. If it goes astray, - then she will just have to make more lace! from Liz in Melbourne, Oz, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
