Hi, everyone! I just had a small question about how to send something from Morocco to the USA. My boyfriend bought me a piece of jewelry as a gift for my birthday but when he took it to the post office to mail it to me the postal worker said they can't ship valuable items, e.g. jewelry made with precious metals, gemstones, etc... I was wondering if there is any way that he can ship the gift via post office (or Amana - I'm not sure what that is, some other kind of postal service?) or if there is any other international shipping service he can send it by to get it here to the USA?

Thanks! And have a great day everyone! :D

He can try FedEx or DHL. It will be more expensive, but probably more reliable.

My then boyfriend, now husband, sent me a golden necklace worth like 200$ and I got it via AMANA, they didn't even open the box. Took 2 months to arrive though.

The trick is to put no value or a small amount, like 5$.

Good luck
