You should try using Registered Mail. I think there is a high risk of loss through the postal system in many Asian countries, for parcels that appear to contain valuable items. One amateur op, 4S7NE, who lives near the Colombo airport, recommends this when sending QSL cards. Details at www.qrz.com/db/4s7ne
I worked vu7nro in 2008 (expedition to Lakshadweep islands) and 2 letters by ordinary air weren't answered, I then sent a card by registered mail, which was answered. The last registered air letter to Asia I sent cost me $10.80 US. In March 2009, my reply from 4s7ne by ordinary air came with a LKR Rs. 50 stamp (now 45 cents USD) and got here in 12 days. I had purchased that stamp from a DX stamp service. 73 Bob > Now that spring has come to North America the signals from the SLBC have > become a regular visitor after 0030 utc.
