Go to China Post, send things by SHIP (Large boat). They can send anything for it'll take some time to reach your family. But dirt cheap...

Fast and expensive is UPS or EMS with must have tracking numbers.

Chinapost it is. Thanks. I've made my family believe that nothing can be done on time here, so they expect things to be late. If xmas presents arrive on time I'll be found out and suddenly they will expect much better communication from me.

The best why is No Why?

Surface mail is cheap, but it's getting late to send now. Does your family celebrate Ukrainian Christmas? You should ship air mail or better.

A:1. Native speaker. 2. Bachelor's degree, minimum. Apostilled. They stopped recognizing online degrees several years ago. . 3. Either a teaching certification from your home country/iPGCE or a 120 hrs TEFL course. Apostilled 4. Criminal background check from your home country issued within the past 6 months. Apostilled. This is rigid. The only legal loopholes for non-native speakers to legally teach are if they're already certified as a subject teacher in their home country, or if they obtained their degree in one of the designated native English speaking countries. -- Spiderboenz
