Hey Guys!
I want to get something shipped from America to Cairo, can I send it to the American embassy? :blink:?

hi, use fed ex or DHL probably easier. they bring it to your house or call you and u go get. :-)also u can use normal mail but it takes long. and you have to pay tax on it when u get package.

Why don't you just send it to your local address in Cairo?!!!

Yes, as layla1313 said, there are many ways/options to send your stuff to Cairo. That's why I was wondering why you want to ship your stuff to the American Embassy!!!

I do not think the American Embassy is particularly interested in receiving packages from people they do not know!!
If you know what I mean
and I have received several packages to my villa from various delivery companies

Ok Thanks, I only wanted to send it there because of saftey reasons.. I have heard stories about things getting stolen, so I figured if I sent it there that would be less of a risk of someone breaking into the package..:/

hi, use fed ex or DHL for fast service and if something goes wrong its easy to call them. honestly i have never seen a mail man in cairo or hurghada, i dont know when it comes but apparently it does lol but im pretty sure the embassy wont deal with mail unless its something related to them.
