HowTo: Mailing packages to us in Uganda

Send packages to:

    Vicar Shauen & Krista Trump
    Lutheran Media Ministry Uganda
    P. O. Box 21645
    Plot 4460 Diplomatic Zone, Kabalagala
    Kampala, Uganda

Packages usually take from 2 to 6 weeks to arrive at our central post office.  Unfortunately, we may not be notified of their availability for several more weeks (in one case it took 6 weeks for the post office to put the little notification slip into our postal box).  If that slip gets lost between the Ugandan postal receiving area and our hands we can't get the package. 

The Ugandan postal service does, however, use the Customs Declaration Form number as a tracking number!  So, if you mail us a package, please immediately email us the number at the top in the center of the green or white customs form - the number ends in "US."  We can take this number to the post office 2 weeks after you've mailed the package and they'll look up where they put it and give it to us!  -Shauen
