I need help quick!

the_woman_99 · 10-04-2007, 04:45 PM

SO is stuck in Canada for the third week. I want to send him something but I am not sure how to go about it. Do I just mail it to him with the hotel address on it but put his attention?

Thanks!

What's he need that he can't get in Canada?

(Ohhhh...or could it be something a bit more...personal?

)

PS - in answer to your question, no idea. But I'd probably send it to his hotel (w/room number and name on it) and let the clerk know - as someone suggested in another thread - that you're telling him to expect the package. Also get delivery confirmation.

Is he staying in the same place every night? last thing you want to do is send something and then have him rerouted or have his schedule change...then he'd never get the package.

but like Seatclutcher said....you can send it, just make sure you have delivery confirmation and that he or someone there knows it's coming and to give it to him.

I've sent stuff to Canada before. When you mail it you'll have to fill out a customes form. If you call the hotel, you can give them a heads up that it's coming and they can make a note in the computer. PUt to his attention as well as his room number.

He stays in the same hotel but I am not sure if it is the same ROOM every night. I forgot about the whole customs thing as well.
It isn't something he can't exactly get but he is frustrated being there. It will be his 3rd week in a row. He is stuck in a hotel ALL DAY! He isn't happy at all so I thought that this might cheer him up

Don't do a package. I've sent dh a pckg to Montreal and it did take a bit longer even with overnight, especially if you put on there that there is food. Like cookies really count. Send him a card(s) to the hotel with attention to guest name, no room number, and company that he is with. Then call the hotel to give them a heads up.

Good luck!
