OT: Shipping medication across the border to USA

[Karrie and Maverick]

I have some medicine to donate to someone's kitty - lasix for heart failure. I went today to ship it - but since I left it in the pill bottle it was too thick to "fit in the envelope slot" and a customs form is needed. I filled it out and declared dog medication. But then left with the package instead of shipping it. I don't want it to be grabbed by customs. If I repackaged it outside of the pill bottle it wouldn't need a declaration.

Any advice on how to best send this? I just lost my dog and it would be going to someone who really needs it. This makes my heart happy. Thank you.

What about a small thin pillbox like this? http://www.amazon.com/Ezy-Dose-Pock...ef=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1326310706&sr=1-2

They may have something like that at a drug store that fits in the envelope without a problem.

Sweet! That would be perfect. I'll go back tonight and get one of them. Great idea.

A gift card box would probably work too. Those are usually made of tin, about a shy half inch thick.

BLESS YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!! BIG HUGS AGAIN!!!

It took me 2 tries to send a used glucose meter, new strips, lancets, ketostix across the border into the US.
I was happy to hear the gal I sent them to finally received them today. YAY!!!!
I think getting things thru Customs is very much the luck of the draw.
I have learned from the "Post Office Ladies" that Bubble envelops are a good thing.
I don't know about shipping pharmaceuticals, especially if they are Rx.
