TLDR : Answer Summary
Several users recommend using Thai Post or international courier services like FedEx and DHL for shipping gifts to the USA, noting that insuring packages and using tracking can help ensure their safe delivery. Some commenters mention their positive experiences with Thai Post, while others suggest opting for FedEx or DHL if there's concern about package security. Customs regulations and possible taxation upon arrival in the USA were also briefly discussed.

 label the customs label for what it is, just be general. Insuring it makes sure it gets there.

Just pay the extra and use fedex or buy in the USA and have the company ship it. Not worth it to lose a package in my opinion
