Return Mailer to FM??
Does anyone know how to send a prepaid return mailer to the foster family in a package? I'm about to send down my 2nd package through someone visiting and I was hoping to send down a mailer for the FM to return any completed disposible cameras. Is that possible? Is there a way to ensure she could get it back to us? What reputible carriers ship FROM Guatemala if any? If I use a certain courier service several here use, they will bring back things from the FM on their next visit (which probably wouldn't be until after our visit trip and won't help me out any) it's an additional $70. I was just wondering what other options were out there for them to ship to us rather than us to ship to them.

You might look into Kings Express. We got a letter from my daughter's foster mother through them, and I know people here have used them to send things down.
I know you said it probably won't help you anyway, but have you checked with that courier about the return? We got a pretty big package from our son's former foster mother a while back through him (didn't know it was coming) and it was only $30.

Hey Debbie, so had you sent a package down first with that courier service or did the foster family contact them on their own? I will probably have to do that. Just send a package down and request them to send things back through them. I'm sending a ziplock with my agency next week and we're hoping to visit in December, but I mainly want to try the courier service to establish contact in that way so they can utilize them as well if they wish.

Yes, that was it exactly. I had origionally hired him to locate Daniel's former foster family as they had moved, and deliver some pictures to them. Then out of the blue we got a package from them a couple months ago. I believe he leaves his contact info. any time he makes a delivery.

I was thinking that maybe you could send down a Fed Ex bubble mailer with the return info all filled in, but I don't know if you want to have your Fed Ex ************** on it. That might be risky.
