[quote=AL32,246549]Hi, Last year, I sent a present to a Chinese girl that is special to me for her birthday (from Canada to Shenzhen). It was a gold ring that worthed over RMB 2,000. I used just the regular (national post service) express mail, but not any kind of fast and expensive courrier service. At first, I was worried about what the Chinese customs/post service would do with it in the transit and if anyone would just open the gift and keep it for himself. The lady at my local post office suggested me or wrote for me on the parcel "costume accessory / value of 10$ [RMB 70]". The gift got to her in a normal delivery time un-opened and at no charge to her at all... Although, just make sure to include a contact (Chinese) phone number because the address might sometime be hard for them to read and the post service will call the recipient if there is a problem with the delivery (which they did in my case). I hope this helps... Good luck with you shipments. / AL[/quote]
