  1. Another generous and wonderful mail time from everyone, Wow. Sydney looked cute in her outfit at the end 🙂 Gad you enjoyed the package. Ian let me know your reaction to those Bundaberg ginger beer chips! I was skeptical at first but personally I thought they nailed the flavour. That's such a shame about the empty package☹️. Auspost automatically insures to $100 but you can purchase extra if you choose. I always make sure there's a tonne of packing tape around all the edges. Either I do it myself or I request them to add more if they do it lol. And the staff always make sure you provide an email address at least in Qld. Mitre (my-ter 10 )is like Bunnings but the stores are not as big. And they've been around longer I think. "The road ahead" mag is put out by RACQ(a roadside assistance/insura.nce company in Qld) The straw things with the blades on them were from the emergency services expos that I went to. You rub/spin them between your hands and let them go and they will fly. The ambulance rulers are from that too. They gave away a lot of free stuff there. I'll be sure to send you the footagee once I finally get back to finishing it!

  2. You have to do that in Australia anyways. The customs label in mandatory. You have to declare the contents and the value. You also have to provide a contact phone number and email. At least I've always had to when mailing overseas. So I'm surprised that Ian said there was no way to contact Sam 🤷. Aus post does automatically insure to the value of $100. You can purchase additional insurance if you choose.

  3. Ah yeah sadly that does make the likelihood of theft a little higher. Especially if the box wasn't taped up too good. Australia post does automatically insure up to the value of $100. And you can purchase extra insurance at the counter if you choose to. I agree with not sending anything too valuable. Or even if you really want to maybe order said item through an actual company that sells it and have them send directly to you.

  4. Someone said in another comment that it looked like there was gaming stuff inside(from the info on the front ). That could be tempting for some jerks especially if the package wasn't properly taped up.

  5. It's a pretty rare occurrence though. This is the first time in the last few years that he's been receiving package. So I'd say the odd of it arriving in tact are very high. And you are insured to value of $100 automatically. you can purchase extra if you wish too. Personally I wouldn't send certain items or really valuable stuff because they're more likely to be interfered with.
