How much does it cost to have a package sent from Iraq to the United States?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Philip M asked:


According to the USPS website it is very expensive to send a box of items to a soldier stationed in Iraq unless you use the “One Rate” boxes. However if a solider wants to send a box (Not a USPS box but their own) back is it the same price coming back or is it cheaper because they are military personnel?

I am not asking about prices to send stuff TO Iraq but to send it FROM Iraq.

Thanks for your help. The box is about 24×12x12 and weighs about 50 lbs.

How long does it take a soldier to get back to the states from Iraq?

Debbie Horton asked:


My boyfriend has been trying to get home from Iraq for a week and 2 days now. I received a message from him finally yesterday morning saying he was out of Iraq and was now in Turkey for lay over. And should be back in the states today or tomorrow. He is retiring from the Army. Can anybody tell me if this is normal or is this taking an unusual long time for him to get back to the states?

hello there, cupcake asked:


I’m sending a package to a friend of mine who is currently stationed in Iraq. Can anyone tell me what the fastest way of sending it would be, and about how much shipping costs? (If weight is a big factor, it would be apprx 12lbs). Thanks!
