Important Notice on International Mailings
Each country has its own set of rules and regulations governing what may or may not be accepted in their country. The customs office in each country has the right to examine each envelope or package being sent and to reject any that contain unacceptable items.
All countries have restrictions on medicine and vitamins: in some cases only the name and amount are required, but in many cases a copy of the prescription and a list of ingredients are required. Some countries restrict magazines based on content, and some require a synopsis be included to cover any video being sent. It is very difficult to keep up with all the regulations for all the countries our members visit since some of these change monthly.
Should Escapees Mail Service send something in your mail that is unacceptable, you could lose the entire package of mail, and Escapees would be liable for large fines and the possible loss of its license. Therefore, Escapees Mail Service has had to put procedures in place. We will only ship first-class letter mail to anyone with an address outside of North America. We will be happy to hold all other mail until your return.
When you are going out of the country, be sure to take a supply of medicine with you or make arrangements for your pharmacy to send it direct. Mailings going to Canada or Mexico may include magazines, newspapers, and newsletters.
