Posting to Bulgaria Don’ts

I had some strange experience with the doll quilt swap. My partner sent it and it was returned. This resulted in a long trip Australia-Bulgaria-Australia-Bulgaria and delay. My partner was told it all happened because she sent me chocolate /actually attempted to/.

So here is what you would better not send to Bulgaria using the postal services:

• precious metals and stones,
• guns and similar items,
• things that may stain the package or the other packages /maybe chocolate was considered part of this category/
• things that may be harmful to the postal stuff.

This is the official list of the Bulgarian Post Office. It seems plain and I doubt you would send any of the listed forbidden items.
If you would really like to send me something special, consider fabrics, or something like trims, buttons sewing aids, or knitting ones I am currently into socks, hats and shawls knitting, a craft magazine, etc. It is so much better than chocolate and the post office would not mind. Being in Europe I have to shop fabric in local fabric stores or online, so any nice cotton or flannel fabric will be appreciated and cherished. Local shops offer no quilting fabric at all so you see why I love fabrics best.

Hope this helps my swap partners.
