I have been uber ready for Christmas this year and was all set to post off family prezzies to my nieces and sister today. I managed to find the perfect sized shoe box to fit everything and had brown paper to hand to wrap it and a fresh sharpie to write the address. I chose to go to the post office right after lunch and when I arrived there was no queue. So far so brilliant.
Nice lady at the counter asks me what's in the package and I reply "perfume, nailpolish, lipgloss and t-shirts". To which she replies "those can't be sent overseas and don't bother going to another post office and lying, they'll just destroy your parcel at customs" (OK, she was much nicer than that but you get the gist). WTF. I could have cried. How do I get this lovely parcel to Canada? Or is it definitely a no-go, even with a private company?
