I shipped some red bull internationally today. Woot!
The whole situation was totally drug dealer status. According to the USPS rules and regulations liquids are not to be shipped. These things were needed direly. Direly is that a word? Whatever! The drinks that give you wings were needed, so using my talent of smooth talking and clever engineering I made it possible. Actually to be honest, it was sloppy. It was truly a messy endeavor.
I had 2 red bulls/2 magazines that I put in this 42" inch tube. I filled it with the bulls + mags and filled the unfilled area with ripped up free auto dealer magazines. I waited for at least ten minutes in the monster of a line. I was finally greeted by "Dan" and told him what I needed to ship. He checked it out and gave me a form to fill out for customs. He went over the rules about things you can't send. I told him there were magazines and he looked back at me with these blank staring eyes. "Really? Only magazines?" I blurted out that there were scraps of paper too. He said something about how I should have just got a large envelope to send them in, but I told him the tube was much cooler. It was pretty cool, it's just like the cardboard rolls you get to swordfight with once your mom is done with all the wrapping paper, except this thing is thick. I filled out the customs slip and gave it back to him hoping that the whole thing would be over with soon. He checked it out, typed some stuff into his compy and then told me that I'd have to pay 40 bucks to send this this to Africa! What! He told me if it was an inch shorter it would only be 20 something. Then he went into this slow drawl speech about everything I could do to reduce the cost. Eventually, I told him I'll just cut the inch off so he pulled out a knife and was about to cut away when I stopped him. I didn't want him to open it up and discover the true goods that it contained. I grabbed the knife and tube and carried it off to a different table, cut the end off. Retaped the cap onto it and sat back in line. Eventually me and Dan sent the thing off and I felt like a champ.

You'll Grow Wings. Promise.
TL;DR
If you need any drugs or contraband stuff to be shipped internationally just lemme know.
