Mailing Packages to our Troops

Since Priority Mail® service supplies are the packaging of choice for families preparing care packages for service members overseas, the USPS® has created a "Mili-kit" based on the items most frequently requested by the military.

The kit contains:

• Three (3) each of flat rate boxes O-FRB1 and O-FRB2
• Two (2) each of Cube boxes OBOX7
• Address labels - Label # 228 8 each
• Address labels - Label # 106-A 1 each
• Customs FORM 2976-A 8 EA.
• Customs FORM 2976-E 8 EA.

The kit may be requested by calling 1-800-610-8734 (Packing Supply) and:

1. Choose your language (1 is English, 2 is Spanish).
2. Choose option 1 (it states it is for Express Mail® service, Priority Mail or Global Express Guaranteed®).
3. When you reach a live agent, request CAREKIT04.
4. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.

Note: These are free supplies, postage must be affixed.
