I need a little help regarding the least expensive way to ship personal items from the US to orphanages in Romania…..I’ll try to make a long story short….my wife volunteers for medical/religious missions on occasion and recently went to Romania…and had her heart broken…again.
Anyway she came back and she and a few friends put together personal items for the children, IE shoes, clothes, small toys and books…..
This is just a few private individuals, not a government or other organization…
The problem is the cost to ship them is 3 to 10 times the costs of the goods….
Does anyone know of a way to ship these items at a reasonable costs…time is not important…the town in Romania is Toluca…I’ve tried several carriers, speaking to my congressman’s office and so far the best arrangement is the USPS surface rate but that’s still expensive…
Does anyone know of a way, organization, agency, ect to ship these at a reasonable costs? Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
David
