Mailing a package home

I sent a package home from Aurangabad, a process which took over an hour, between the auto-rickshaw rides, the boxing/wrapping/stitching/wax-sealing of my things, and going to the post office (which mercifully had a short line and an English speaking clerk).

Note the wax seals (14!) on the finished package.
Over 7kg/16lbs, it cost Rs300/$7.50 to wrap (overly expensive, but no competition here, unlike Mumbai where the general post office was open on Sunday, but not the foreign parcel desk), and Rs3005/$75 for air parcel service (within 2 weeks delivery – I didn’t want to pay half and wait 2 months for ship parcel service).
