My wife tried to send me gifts twice from Italy, and both times the “Poste Italiane” lost them, and didn’t reimburse her for the lost items. She even filled out the forms. My advice is to use Poste Italiane when it absolutely, positively has to never get there. For example, you might want to use them to send the murder weapon to police. It’s the best way to make sure it’s never seen again.
