Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

never done it before so i would like a few pointers
where can you get stamps/priority mail from? how many would i need in the case of stamps?
and where are the post offices roughly? i remember reading some of the maill boxes dont allow dvd cases?
when packing it is it a good idea to take it out of the original baggy and wrap in cling or is it ok to wrap it up when still in it?
also is there any point in wrapping the case in cling? i've read some people doing that?
finally what days/times are the post offices usually open?

sorry for all the questions, just want to have the highest chance of success!
pm if preferred

thanks

U probably already searched the forum but these two threads could help a bit.

Others will help with stamps and post boxes for you.

cheers, yep i've read them and a few other threads around, its just the more i read the more confused i get! so many different methods lol
i'll probably end up going ont he safe side and only try about 7g in each package, but i feel its a shame if i could get more in there, i get greedy lol.

hi can anyone help with the post offices? leaving on friday afternoon, but won't be able to check this after thursday

Easiest one to find is the main one, it's only a couple of mins from Dam Square, type Singel 250 Amsterdam into google maps.

everyone mentions the UK post, i know its not hard at all to send stuff around the US, but does anyone know about sending through US customs? thinking each case would only have a g or two.

The most successful way I've heard is to flatten a gram of hash and post it in a greetings card.

thats completely doable for me!

i'd love to send myself some buds, but if i cant thats fine, mostly gonna send stuff to a few select friends. as i've said before, hash isnt as common here. most of my buddies have never even seen it, and none of us have ever had any real quality hash like over in NL. they'll be psyched on getting hash surprises.

ok this is probably going to sound really stupid, and i know i'm getting to caught up on the small details, but..

is there any difference between using jiffy bags and the feather post bags? better smell protection or anything? the jiffybags seem to be strongeR?

thanks

Most people call the padded envelopes 'jiffy bags', there is no certain make of envelope you need just one that won't rip open when its being handled.

cheers i had the one with bubble wrap and it doesnt seem as secure
will buy them tomo
