Those who are claiming that they sent packages, when was the last time y'all tried??/

I sent something on UPS in Feb and i sent DHL in the summer and didnt have a problem. I sent it in November and this is what DHL said to me.

I sent just documents in a DHL package. The exact words from the Russian DHL were pretty much the same American DHL said to me. Its a ban to personal mail in Russia. I received it in a nice formal DHL letter.

If its only DHL, then i dont understand why DHL says Russia in general has the ban.

They're lying to you or just don't know, which is very possible, because rule #1 in Russia is that no one knows anything so you can get away with anything. I've sent at least 15 personal documents through Fedex and USPS recently, no problems.

How recently? Laws in Russia do change quickly and randomly.

i sent my fiancee in Russia (Primorsky Krai) an envelope with a copy of the 129F petition.... which weighed maybe 5oz? i forgot.

apparently she received a notice to pick it up, and that it will cost roughly $60 for her to get it..

does this make sense!??

No, what's the $60 for? For the post guy to buy some nice vodka? You paid for shipping, that's all that should be charged unless there is a customs fee. There should be no customs fee for a bunch of papers that have no financial value. Did you mark when shipping that all that was there was documents that have no financial value?

yes, i did mark the customs form as documents. i cut the corner of the envelope to show the inside...

anyway, i convinced my fiancee to go pick it up...turns out it was an online purchase that her sister made using my fiancee's name lololol.
