Post Office

Hey! Megan just sent me this in an email. It is free packing supplies to families of the military. I just ordered one and it was really easy. They send you enough stuff to send 8 packages. Just follow the directions. All you need is the APO of the soldier. Not the whole address, just the APO. Then, you just give you your information. They will ship it to you and you get it in 7-10 days. They will also give you a code over the phone, so when you need more just call and give the code.

Since Priority Mail® service supplies are the packaging of choice for families preparing care packages for service members overseas, the USPS® has created a "Mili-kit" based on the items most frequently requested by the military.

The kit contains:
Three (3) each of flat rate boxes O-FRB1 and O-FRB2
Two (2) each of Cube boxes OBOX7
Address labels - Label # 228 8 each
Address labels - Label # 106-A 1 each
Customs FORM 2976-A 8 EA.
Customs FORM 2976-E 8 EA.

The kit may be requested by calling 1-800-610-8734 (Packing Supply) and:
Choose your language (1 is English, 2 is Spanish).
Choose option 1 (it states it is for Express Mail® service, Priority Mail or Global Express Guaranteed®).
When you reach a live agent, request CAREKIT04.
Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
Note: These are free supplies, postage must be affixed.
