Costco has been adding to their herb selection lately, especially those associated with Italian cooking. |

No problem having them added to a "care package" from home (provided they are in original sealed packaging. )

I had a small box full of packaged spices and other dry goods mailed to me recently with no problems. Like someone else already said as long as those packages are sealed there should be no issues. |

I just had some spices sent and unfortunatly my dear mother didnt send them in original packaging and instead in small plastic bags. Yes shocking I know !!
The package has taken longer than other packages and still has not arrived. Do you think this would look suspicious? Well I know it would look suspicious but if they tested it and realised it is just spices am i likely to get them ?? |

I order the majority of my spices from iherb.com. I can find plenty of them at the foreign food market in Itaewon, but I prefer delivery, and there are more organic options. |

Care package sounds like a good idea, especially with Christmas coming up |
