We receive emails asking us what do you miss from the States or what is it that you cannot get in Ukraine. So, we created this page to help those who would like to send us a surprise package. Remember, do not send anything that is of great value. One, we would have to pay customs, and two we might not even get it. Mail service here in Ukraine is so much better than it was a couple of years ago, but they still have their problems. The custom agents do have the tendencies to go through boxes and pull out what they might enjoy. That is life on the foreign field.
