Yep, USPS is the way to go. Standard shipping rates since they're being sent to an APO in the states first (Priority is 4.05$ for up to a pound)

You will need to fill out a customs forms, the small green and white if it is less than a pound and the large white form if it is greater than a pound.

There are restrictions on what you can send them. No objectionable material (ie porn), plus the standard prohibited items like tobacco and alcohol.

USPS for sure, you basically get a discount to forward deployed APO addresses

You better be including autographed photos and maybe a pair of panties from the strippers you work with for your friend. Otherwise, it's a waste of a good package in any good Marines eyes.

USPS also has a Flat Rate box. Regardless of the weight, the cost will remain the same as long as the item(s) fit in the box and it seals properly. I use this all the time to send misc. items to my son in South Korea.

I'd recommend insurance to if its worth anything. I've had mail disappear a few times already.

DHL for sure,
those guys will deliver your goods even with no hydraulics and half of wing shot off by a SAM

$8.10 for a flat rate box.

Takes about a week for my little brother to get any packages I send to him at LSA Anaconda.
