Instructions on how to send
mail to Ukraine Kyiv Missionaries
Very Important— Do Not Put The Words “Ukraine Kyiv Mission” on PACKAGES. If you put “Ukraine Kyiv Mission” as part of
the address, they think it is coming to a business and customs charges are so
high that the package will be returned to you.
(Exception: Pouch Mail – See
Below)
When you mail Packages, PLEASE
KEEP THEM SMALL. Larger boxes could be sent through Roxolana or Meest. Along with all their own bags and books,
missionaries must often carry the packages and letters on public transportation
and then on foot to other missionaries, many who live in outlying areas. It is better to send two small packages
rather than one large one. Put your
Missionary’s first and last name on the package. Do not require your missionary’s signature in
order to pick up the package.
We find the U.S. Postal Service small priority mail flat rate
boxes or envelopes work well for packages.; or USPS "Ready Post"
boxes; or just use your own box – write
(print) clearly. Please be aware
that packages sent through U.S. Mail to the address below should reflect a
customs value of less than $99 – a higher value will be charged at least $100
customs fee. Your missionary will have
to pay this fee to obtain the package.
Please remember any package sent across U.S. borders is subject to
possible opening and inspection by Customs. When declaring items, be general and
simple. Examples: “supplies,” “household items” and “personal
items.” You may be asked to list the
items included, if so, list. Do NOT
bother to insure, as you could never collect over here. Packages usually take several weeks to
arrive. We do not recommend express services.
Other reliable carriers are Roxolana and Meest. Parents can contact them for
information.
Tape up the Packages very well to keep them secure.
God luck! Write away!
