The whole postal system in Egypt sucks. The letters I sent to my husband while he was still in Cairo would arrive unopened, but any package I sent was opened by customs and each time he would also have to pay to receive the package. It got to the point where he finally told me not to send him packages because it was costing him so much to receive them.

:yes:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

:yes:

:yes: Only time he didn't get charged was when I sent thru DHL....which cost me an arm and a leg! Better to send w/ people that are going to visit...but now airlines are charging for extra bags...You can NOT win! :angry:
