Can you mail a toy gun overseas?
Many carries consider toy guns, replica and imitation firearms and firearm parts as goods not recommended for shipping. In the United States, federal law and regulations indicate that all toy guns transported or imported into the country must have a 6mm-wide blaze orange tip or a blaze orange stripe thick on both sides of the barrel. However, this is not required by federal law for airsoft and paintball.
How to vacuum seal stuffed animals for shipping?
You can ship plush toys and stuffed animals in vacuum bags. Place the plush toys into plastic bags and use your vacuum cleaner nozzle to suck the air out of the bag. This will reduce the space the animals take up. Because this method can squish and misshape stuffing, don’t use vacuum bags for precious stuffed animals or antique plush toys, as they could be damaged by the process.
