Sending Gift Parcel to Pakistan

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what source do I look for in order to send few gift items to one of my close friend in Pakistan ? How about the courier services, postal procedure or any other means. Suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

you can send any gift through TCS C.S

Do you have any personal experience in using these services ?

Hello Friends,

Contrary to most civilized countries, receiving a gift parcel from abroad is a nightmare in Pakistan. I received two branded T-Shirts from Bahrain in Karachi early this year and Customs charged me Rs. 3000 each as Customs duty which was more than the gift's worth.

My nephew received a used Samsung S5 from Saudi Arabia and Customs charged Rs. 17000 on it. I ordered some motorbike electric accessories on "ALIEXPRESS" but customs were demanding such a value that I decided not to collect it.

Therefore the answer to your question is NO, it is not worth the time , hassle and trouble. Solution is let a friend hand carry it for you.  :)
