Tips for Shipping Baked Goods Overseas

By k w (Guest Post)

It's best to call your post office about this. We sent our grandson some small cans of food,crackers. Playing cards, nuts. It's cheaper to get boxes from post office for this. Good luck.

Hello
I would like to introduce our company to you, we have been around since 1987 offering cakes in the US & Canada, but we recently started shipping to the service members overseas. Our cakes are traditional birthday cakes frosted and they have your inscription on top. Site is: http://www.wireacake.com

I am active duty navy and people send cookie, brownies, and the like all the time! From my experience, people dont follow these rules BUT results are always hit or miss. Cookies with bread slices inside an air tight bag usually provide good results. It does take a while to get to middle east, but sometimes as short as 2 weeks. Take it from a girl who has been out to sea.. SEND WHATEVER you know your army, navy, marine, girl or guy wants and take your chances!! They'll love it, even if its crusty! :)

AS WE ARE STILL DEPLOYING SERVICE MEMBERS OVERSEAS I WANTED TO REFRESH THIS POST AS SOME MEMBERS MAY NOT HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT. IT IS SO NICE TO SEND OUR SERVICE PEOPLE PACKAGES. MY SON HAS RECENTLY BEEN DEPLOYED TO IRAQ AND I KNOW HE IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO GET MAIL FROM HOME

I wanted to bake goodies for my nephew/godson ship mates, he's on the coast in th emiddle east. I am confused to what I can send at this point. I will be creative with your suggestions. Chocolate chip cookies could be out. Thank you for the advise!

Thank you so much for this information. My Air Force son is leaving soon for South Korea, and his favorite is banana bread. If I use your tips - shortening, no nuts, can I make banana bread and ship to Korea?

Thanks for sharing this tip. Our Grandson is in the Coast Guard and is being sent overseas soon. It will come in handy for his wife and 3 little boys also. As they live in OR. it will be hard for all of them. (Her family lives in another state.) GG Vi So.CA.
