    Has anyone here delivered something with Grabr?

    Thinking of doing this for my next trip to/from the US and wondering if others can share their experiences. Seems a little weird that I would have to buy the item myself and eventually have Grabr.io reimburse me, but if you've done it and it has worked out fine, let me know!
