What the heck is going on with the post office? They mess up waaay too often and want more $$$ to do it??? If we did our jobs like that, we'd be fired!!!

I think it is absolutely outrageous that the Recipient should be made to pay fees, taxes or whatever term the post office/shippers/customs use--- On A Gift, no matter the value of the Gift.  Taxes were paid when the gift was purchased, shipping was paid for. And, how many issues have we had with our Missions not even making it to the recipient? Some were returned to sender and sender was expected to Pay Again to resend!!!

On one of the last missions I had to pay more tax than the entire mission was worth

That is what I am afraid of on their end.

There is no problem when you sent it as a GIFT with a low value

That is what I always thought which is why I keep the marked value at 10 or less.

Yea, they told me that too.  If the receiver didn't pay any fees it would come back to me (eventually I am sure) and they wouldn't refund the shipping.

The 'bad' thing about stating a value of 10 is that, if a package went missing and the sender had insurance on the package and proof, all package insurance would cover is that amount.

 

Sadly, it makes me re-think hosting future Missions.

Speaking only for myself, I wouldn't mind paying Customs Duty. We do this for the fun of it, and if that's part of the activity, then so it is.

I sent my package "overseas" today and was a bit surprised at the cost? whatever but they also informed me that the recipient would also have to pay a fee when it got there. I did as suggested here in the forum  labeled it a "Easter Gift" and falsely  listed the value as $10.00 :(

Continuing on my previous comment, some additional time to send might be nice: My package cost $58 to ship Priority Mail (so it will get there in time, hopefully). First Class would have been $40.

 

CAUTION: USPS was required to read out a long statement that said that the recipient may be required by their country to pay an additional $21 OR MORE which cannot be paid by me in advance. More if the package is inspected and the country's Customs deem the value stated to be insufficient.

  

The above are not "complaints", just a wish and statements of fact. It's getting expensive to send things between countries and we might want to start earlier to send by cheaper means - especially if we're paying Customs Fees on receipt as well. Or possibly just exchange within countries? That would be a lot of work for one Host for the Mission, though. (Might be worth some discussion at large.)
