Just a friendly reminder that the USPS deadline for international mail (both First Class mail and Priority Mail) to arrive by Christmas is Nov 30th for African and Central & South American countries, and Dec 7th for the rest of the world. So that's this Monday (Cyber Monday) and the following Tuesday.

If you're a procrastinator, USPS Priority Express International deadline is Dec 7, 9 and 14 at three to four times the cost of First Class mail.

and please remember to tick the "gift" box and write "Unsolicited Gift" across the shipping box in large legible letters. In years past, some Santees had to pay import duty and taxes over the value of the gift before even seeing the package.
