So glad you shared this, thank you

[@thewaitingwarriors]

So happy to help! Is there anything else with military spouse life you need videos about?

[@heidygonzalez2863]

This might be a silly question, but the customs paper, is it filled out and handed in at the post office?? Or how does that work

[@thewaitingwarriors]

Yes, fill them out before you go to the post office.

Super helpful!! Just sent a care package the other day but it’s been a minute and wish I’d seen this video sooner. Thanks waiting warriors!

Be careful with the cakes and baked goods in the jars it can cause botulism! Be smart 🙈
I considered that method but I don’t want anyone to get sick!
