Mailing perishables to mideast

[Tdog]

We would like to mail some cookies to a friend serving in the mideast. He's in the navy but we think is stationed on shore. The mailing address is Taskforce Trident - APO - -

Does anyone have suggestions how to pack? Any idea how long for delivery?

Thanks,

Jack

I would say to pad as you would for a domestic shipment. If you send fresh baked goods, wrap cakes in bubble wrap (unfrosted) and wrap cookies individually. When I was in the US Navy, I can't tell you how many guys I saw who received boxes of cookie crumbs. Even so, the crumbs didn't go to waste and they had plenty of help cleaning them up.

My mom use to send me jars of bread and butter pickles while I was in the Navy. Never had an issue receiving them.

When I was in the army I recieved a couple of goody boxes. I did have one at one time that had more goodies then I cared for...............it was full of cookie crums and ants.
