Address Details

Here is a really quick entry that apparently should have been done a long time ago.

We have received many requests for our address and with all the issues we are having with emails not getting through to everyone, this seemed the most viable spot to post the data. However, for obvious reasons we are not particularly comfortable with actually posting this information for all the world to see so here is how you can get it:

Send me another email with that as the only subject (otherwise, the response will most likely get lost in answering all the other points)

Contact my mother, by phone of course, if you have her number.

Contact my sister, this is an email option since she is not technologically challenged.

After you have obtained this information, here are some guidelines to insure that we will receive what you send.

For regular mail:

Insert First Name Here Hodson
Street Address
Apartment Number
Hradcany Praha 6
160 00
Czech Republic

A standard letter under 16 ounces will cost you $0.90, after that I am not sure what the incremental charge is per ounce but it is a great way to get rid of those old 37 cent and below stamps!

For anything other than a standard letter:

Benjamin or Pamela Hodson

DO NOT use both names or either of the kids names as we have to present an ID and sign for items at the Post Office. The kids cannot write their names in cursive and if both of our names appear, then we both have to be present to pick something up.

DO NOT declare any value of goods and list anything you send as "Used" taking all tags off the items inside. If you are thinking of shipping something expensive, DON'T!! Wait for us to come home or for someone you know to come here.

Over a certain value and we have to pay a taxation on the shipment. Use a real description of what is inside, and if interest is intrigued on the receiving end we are likely to not ever see the package.

Check online or with your local Post Office to ensure that the item(s) you are thinking of shipping do not fall into the illegal category for the Czech Republic. You would be amazed at the things that are not allowed here through shipping. If you are ever bored and have a dull moment, try a mock order on Amazon.Com and see how many of your line items will go through. My first order of (10) line items ended up with (1) item viable for shipment...and the cost was astronomical.

So, there you have it...the address and how to use it ;)
