I've been sending parcels to my DS & family in USA for twenty years. I always use Royal Mail & nothing has ever gone missing. Have I simply been lucky? No Kinder eggs sent (I didn't know they are illegal in USA!) but I always fill in the customs declaration form very carefully and I seal the parcel with yards of strong parcel tape. I never, ever, send anything with any sort of battery but I have sent chocolate bars. And nothing is ever gift-wrapped as that's always likely to cause a parcel to be opened.
