Hello!

I'm currently living in São Paulo Brazil and will be here for the next year! However, when I left the US I thought I was only going to be staying for 4 months so I only brought enough contacts for 4 months. BUT, I have a years supply of contacts at my mom in the US!

Can my mom mail me my contacts? I know that she can't mail me things like birth control, but are contacts okay? Will it help if she puts my perscription in the envelope as well?

Thanks! It would be 3 boxes of contacts (or maybe 4). Alternatively, she could mail the boxes individually and then it can't possibly look like I'd be selling them here!

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

Marina

It would a good idea to mail the boxes a la "Jack", in parts. My experience with this tells me it would be safer. Also it should be a good idea to use some sort of tracking - which adds to the postage price a bit - but it eases suspicions from customs.

Good luck! :thumbs:
