Hello! I hope you're having a good day. I'm just curious on how I could send something from here(in france) to another country. I would like to send stuff to my family in philippines. I don't have any idea and experience. So please, to those who have an idea or some experience,

How much do you think a letter would cost? How about a shirt? Or chocolates?

What do you think is the cheapest (but reliable) courier company that could send my package?

Thank you 😊

Hi - a letter is easy, and only a few euro. Put it in an envelope, take it to La Poste, and ask for help. They'll tell you the correct way yo address it and sell you the stamp.
Alternatively, (like after you have some experience) use one of the weigh and pay machines inside the post office, and pop it in the outgoing box.
I don't have any info on packages (of course, you can ask about that at La Poste, but there are places like UPS too)
