My son is volunteering in Kuwait and has asked me to send a few personal belongings. Is it safe to ship a small package there? I’ve had problems in the past sending personal packages to other countries, and I do not want to take any chances since he is asking for some things that we probably can’t replace. Photographs, mementos and things so he won’t feel so homesick. I tried sending my cousin who was living in South America some presents for her little house. I spent a lot of money on the various items and the shipping company charged me another $90 to ship the package. It never got there and no one was ever able to trace it. Even more frustrating than losing the money was disappointing my cousin. I don't want a similar experience with my son. Are there companies that take responsibility for a package for the entire shipment, person to person? But still at a reasonable rate? I want someone who will guarantee delivery without asking an arm and a leg.
