Rod's Chili

use a rigid outer box of some sort -
wrap anything containing liquid in its own plastic bag, disasters happen -
if there are heavy things packed with fragile things, remember to anchor them (maybe with tape) -
use some sort of packing material (I use newspaper) to cushion the effect of any bumps ~ pick the smallest box that your things will fit into -
coffee canisters work well to send cookies in -
toilet paper tubes are good space fillers, you can also put small things inside them * Postage really is a killer. I can't emphasise this one enough * Good and Bad Travellers (please contribute!): -
Good Nut Breads Spices Nuts Anything Dried -
Bad Glass (usually) -
heavy (= expensive) and breakable -
