Hi Delores, If you haven't mailed your item yet, I always us UPS. It's convienient and I like their tracking system -- have never had a problem sending items to my son.

Also, didn't get a chance to yet, but congrats on the PIR. I know it was a wonderful trip for you. I bet Brian was oh so happy to hug his Mom!! I remember when we met up with Will, he was wiping a tear away from his eye when I came up to him! Then he hugged me so tight and forever!

I will gladly take advice for shipping the next package. It was expensive. . . .

When my son started A school, I became a regular at the UPS store by my home.......the first thing I overnighted was his laptop and that cost over $100.00 with the insurance and all......

When Brandon and Jennifer were at A school I sent thing by USPS because there was always a post office on the base so that they could just walk to where they need to pick it up....

He called today with a list of stuff to send.
He was excited he got to go to a Quite Riot concert at the base last nite that was being held about 100 feet from his room. LOL . . .
They were in town doing a concert and decided to come to the base for one.
He's in heaven... .

I thought you had to ship through the post office because of the address having a PMB in it. I shipped laptop through USPS with overnight service and insurance for $2000 and it cost me $56.
