Sending baked goods to Morocco

[tany1157 161]

Has anyone done this? Are there any restrictions? I want to send some of my baked goodies to his family for the end of Ramadan, but not sure how. A google search didn't give me much info...Thanks for the help!

I would call the post office and see what they say. I really have no idea how it would work.

I probably wouldn't. Sometimes things get there in a few days and sometimes a few weeks...and sometimes never...

I just mailed a package to Morocco that weighed only 2.2 lbs and I uysed the GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL service which has a minimum fee of $147 PLUS. It advertises to get to destinations 1-3 days but my receipt printed out 7 days and the postal clerk re-checked it in the system and it said again 7 days.....I mailed the package on Saturday the 28th and the tracking shows it made it through customs on 9/1 after it left here in Alabama, went to Memphis, to Paris-France to Madrid Spain and then on to Morocco! It says enroute to him today...Here is a link I found with some guidelines.

You paid $147 to ship a 2.2lb package?

[MrsAmera 41]

I was thinking the same thing!

thats crazy

I'd be seriously pissed if someone spent that much to ship baked goods to me, lol. I could make a boatload of cookies and cakes with $147.

Yes I spent $147 and if it had of weighed more, the cost would have been MORE! It's not crazy when you have a 4 week interview and you were told you did not make the September list and you will be notified by the second week of October for the October interviews and at last minute NVC sent you the interview for September......... and I had sent twice mail to my husband by using the regular postal service USPS EXPRESS which I paid about $45-70 depending on the weight of the package, and it took 4 and 5 weeks and the last was misplaced at the Consulate and never made it to him without him hunting it down...(delayed our case at NVC)...so this time I still used the regular post office but GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL which has a FLAT RATE of $147!!!! Luckily..... my package was our wedding/honey-moon, memories, marriage celebration, all collaged with nice poems and notes which is our book of our relationship/marriage to have as a keepsake....and yes i wanted him to have it at his interview and with a CR-1 your PACKET 4 is YOUR APPOINTMENT letter and he needed this letter that was sent in an e-mail form,at with a .PDF file to take to his interview and BEFORE he can do his medical, he had to have this appointment letter so I sent him a copy along with our last months of phone records and proof I was separated from my husband for 4 years buying my own place and proof from the utility office and my contract on my home with phone numbers and names and evidence that can be verified through government records my EX addresses over the years where he applied for SSI and disability which also included him living at the address with his girlfriend .....so yes it had to get there safely since all the Consulate would see is I was Legally divorced from my ex just 90 days my first trip and over a year now, incase they saw it as a red flag so I covered myself.........FED EX was going to cost the same thing and DHL was going to be higher and some didn't have high regards for DHL..........mailed on saturday.....made it to Casablanca on the 1st & through customs, and delivered in his hands YESTERDAY!!! Now he doesn't have to run all over the place to see who can print out pdf file since he doesn't havea printer and he has our evidences and photos if he is asked or questioned about it.....Is $147 too much to try and get my husband home??? I don't think so....baked goods, yes!!!...but if you meant our mailing system sucks for over-charging?? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should have read made it through Customs

and the last was misplaced at the Consulate and never made it to him without him hunting it down

I've sent food to Morocco and have had no trouble with just regular international priority mail. I'd just wrap the stuff up really well in saran wrap and be sure it's sealed because it still takes a week 1/2 to two weeks. It's not our mail that makes it slow, it's theirs.
