Regular post worked fairly well, though it sometimes took forever for packages to get through. They were held at the post office, and they often forgot to send out notices saying we had a package. - Oct 2011


APO/dip post. - Jul 2010


DPO and pouch. I wouldn't recommend sending any other way because they will try to tax the heck out of you and you'll pay a LOT! - May 2010


Through the DPO pouch. Stuff from amazon.com takes about a week via DPO. - Jan 2010
