I shipped wearing cloths from LHR to Norway a few years ago, at that time the cheapest service was Pakistan Post among all possible options of shipment. It was safe and they gave tracking number also.
Try to un-pack cloths from original packaging (must not looks new)
write minimum value on custom documents. You can check custom laws in USA for value-added goods (in this way you can save some taxes in USA if they have)
Good luck. |

Faheem is right that the most economical service for parcels is Pakistan Post. It is safe and reliable. There are two services available for USA and the rate for 14 KG are as follows:
SAL Parcel- Rs.9,700/= in total
Air Parcel - Rs.14,070/= in total
Both are Airmail services. The only difference is that Air Parcel is shipped in first possible flight and the other is shipped in economical service / flight. The delivery time in general is 20 days.
An online record and track system is also available on pakpost.gov.pk
The procedure:
You are required to make a seal packet by stitching it properly (This service is generally available outside the post office). Take the copy of your ID card along with you for registering and booking the packet. You are supposed to fill a form provided by the post office.
Mark Clearly on the upper side of packet and in the form:
GIFT - NO COMMERCIAL VALUE
Packet will reach GPO where custom office will open it to confirm whether the material is same which is mentioned on form or not. More than 90% packet is made clear for destination country. Only 10% chances are that they will call you. There is nothing to worry about as they are only there to PERFORM THEIR DUTY.
The packet is stitched again by the custom staff and sent to destination country. You can check it online.
Good Luck! |

This is a good initiative. We should buy as much Pakistani products as possible. I am also thinking of buying curtains from Pakistan to bring them to Netherlands. Can you guys tell me any shop or website from where i can select/buy curtains. |
