how much is it to send to germany?
i would be more than happy to forward it to the US,
2kg Germany to the US cost ~17
~20 to Dortmund (just a city to try); so it´d be like 40 with your forwarding, much better.
I´ll keep looking for another choices to send it directly from Spain but i´ll keep your offer in mind.
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it

A few hours ago I visited the grocery store and left with such a mountain of candy that I literally felt ashamed buying it

Now I just have pack all of these delightful treats into a box and drag it to the local post office.

It's not always about the weight, but the quality.
Right?

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
I'm perfectly fine not getting 4.5kg of candy. Definitely quality over quantity. Plus I'd get fat D:

definitely, due to the weight constraints i spent more money on smaller quality stuff. ^^

For those who are shipping to America, how do you fill up the US FDA 'Prior Notice Conformation Number'? My local courier service is asking me to get it first but I'm clueless on how to filling up the "Prior notice system interface". USPS/DHL won't deliver the candies without this.

as far as i know:
if you are sending something to a friend no prior notice is required.
and everyone remember to declare it as a gift!
[edit]
I just checked and according to DHL prior notice not required if:

So that applicable for all countries? I'm wondering whether will my courier service ask a lot of what gifts I'm sending....
"Sir, may I know what sort of gift you sending?"
"Gift."

Just went to three candy stores and got a ton of candy and other goodies (went a bit over budget, but oh well). So how many people also ended up getting some candy for themselves while shopping for their partner?
anonymous_abc
Member
well not intentionally, but everything that would have meant my package goes over weight stayed home.
dropped my package off at the post today should arrive in the US in a week.

I didn't intend to but while shopping I came across some of those liquor filled chocolates and I couldn't resist.
And yeah, I'm worried mine won't all fit in the box so I might end up keeping some.

Wait... completely off-topic, but are you the same guy who was impostering me? I didn't know you were on NeoGAF, at least I didn't link the names before. I just randomly found this thread like a week ago :|
Excited! Today will be my shopping day, though I'll be sending it on Tuesday because a roommate who really wanted to join the shopping is returning on Monday from her vacation.

To my partner, Blackwatchplad, you'll be getting this diabetic fun! bawahaha!

I spent a bit more than agreed upon but it was hard to hold back.
Whoooo!
I've been across the border to France & Germany to pick up some other bits so I'm mostly done shopping. Need to figure out shipping now as my initial box is smaller than it needs to be and I might need to send it from Germany instead.
If you're sending to Germany or a German speaking country 'Gift' is not a recommended description.

are you going to keep track of who has sent and received in the OP?

Well played, sir.
In other news, I was originally trying to get your package on the way before weekend but unfortunately the odds were against me. But fear not, I left your package to the tender hands of the local post office about an hour ago - hopefully you'll receive it before Halloween!

Hadn't planned on it.
The only ones who'd care already know about it (I assume everyone's keeping their partner up-to-date with PMs), so not really necessary IMO.

Looks like I might be under the knife to get things sent out by the end of this week, it's looking to be very busy until Friday night.
Did all my shopping though, spent a bit more than agreed upon but that's the fun of this. Might post a picture soon.

Same here. Got it all done but when i get home from work, the post office is closed. But i got a. Day off on friday.
we also have an automated service for packages here in germany called Packstation. Works 24/7 but i have nooooooo idea how it handles international stuff. So i'll go with human work sometime around.
