Dear Parents,
We have had
challenges with the retrieval of large packages from the post office. It has been both time-consuming and
expensive. Generally, all of the
contents are removed and recorded. A large customs duty may be assessed on the
contents at the discretion of customs officials, which ultimately comes from
your missionary’s personal funds. We
kindly request that you do not send any large packages or boxes.
Just send padded
envelopes or USP flat rate envelopes and make sure they are secured with
PLENTY of clear packing tape. We are
unable to pick up boxes from the Kumasi Post Office so please send only the padded envelopes so your
missionary will receive the goods you send.
Anything can be sent in these envelopes.
Please note the following additional points:
1. Do
not send any electronic equipment in parcels.
They can generally be purchased here at reasonable cost.
2. Sending
packages as registered parcels is unnecessary.
3. Sending
temple garments is unnecessary as the Mission supplies these at a subsidized
cost to missionaries. Sending them in packages often results in inappropriate
handling by officials.
4. Do
not send an excessive number of parcels to your missionary, whether at
Christmas or any time during the year.
The Ghana Kumasi Mission is part of the church pouch mail system. (But several of the missionary mothers say that normal mail takes 3 weeks, but pouch mail take 4-5 months!!! I am not including the pouch information for this reason.- Karie)
Regular
Mail
Letters and packages can be sent to the missionary
through the Postal Service using the following address:
GHANA KUMASI MISSION
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Elder/Sister
(Missionary’s Name)
P.O.
Box PMB KS 16333
Kumasi,
GHANA
We thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Sister Cynthia Cosgrave
Wife of the Mission President
