Ustedes les mandan cosas a su familia que esta lejos de ustedes?

Como los mandan, y no les cuesta mucho dinero para mandarlo?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Do you send stuff to your family that lives far away?

How do you send them, and does it cost a lot to send them things?

No, I have never sent anything.

My SIL does, she sends them through a company that delivers via truck.

Yes I do. I usually deliver in person since I go to Mexico so often. Like once every 3 months... I usually send gifts. if I can't deliver in person, my mom owns a shipping store.so I just ship it there via fed ex and they go pick it up.

 My family goes twice a year but they are meaners they never want to take my mom anything. so I try to ship a big big box they don't charge for weight you can put a mototr in there they don't care as long as you don't send new items they say they charge $100. for it but its worth it if you are planning to send a lot of stuff.

Yes, I send things very frequently especially to one of my recruits in Germany. I use flat rate boxes to keep the cost low since I send things priority.  I also like to order gifts online for people just so the company will send the gifts for me.

I do not, I usually go myself and save on shipping.

I always buy them stuff online, that way, sometimes, shipping is free, and the rate is the same no matter how heavy.  It's a lot easier than buying something and then shipping it. 

Usually, though, I do gift cards.

I live at the border so I can deliver in person.  But mijo who just started college in San Diego get care packages from me, his abuelita and tia nina in person or in via UPS.
