International mail drop

#1

Has anyone ever tried to send a mail drop from outside the US? I live in Canada and plan to do a long section in September and October (Damascus to Springer) and would like to send myself a mail drop about halfway through. Would there be any significant delays at the border? Are there any items I am not allowed to send? Any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks

They usually don’t like meat products. I don’t think there would be delays because of customs but the postal service might just take a while. How about carrying the box with you to your starting point in the U.S. and mailing it from there, probably faster and cheaper.
