헤이즐에서 (from hazel)

LINK: 헤이즐에서 (from hazel)

I rarely get snail mail. Brenda sends me postcards from places she’s traveled to. Nico sends me gifts, which I will post soon and respond back via snail mail (I’ve been behind in life per usual, work has been getting in the way).

The other day, I received an envelope from Hazel. Inside was a handwritten letter and two photos of her place + cow in the Philippines. I was very touched by it and showed my mom and dog.

I’m going to write back, I just have to figure out what I want to send. Obviously, a handwritten letter and…?

I’m told that USPS shipping to the Philippines sucks ass. Does anyone have any recommendations? I also don’t want to burden her with any taxes either. I wonder if Amazon delivers to her small village?

    USPS works. Atleast when I used to do penpal and all that jazz – I received many from the US and other countries…faced no issues or had to pay tax or customs or so…being in India.
    Happy penpalin’

      I’m gonna down vote DHL. They screwed me on an international delivery for work (rude, late, and they lost one of the two boxes).

    No Amazon here, Rojie. USPS is fine. Any letter or package from international is being fetched for me in town. No worries about it.

    And no pressure to reply. Just rest whenever needed. Im okay.🤭

    Snail mail! Nothing beats getting a physical letter or package.

    Sadly, it’s so rare these days. Just bills…

    Receiving a physical letter is now a rare event. Unfortunately…
