Free Shipping of Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine

We are all horrified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the pain and suffering that it is causing. Thousands have already lost their lives, there are many injured and millions have been displaced. If you would like to send humanitarian aid to Ukraine, we would like to let you know that Meest is offering free shipping on parcels to Ukraine. To learn more, please check the link below.
