So sorry to hear this (and about the other bad experiences with customs too).... when we sent things to Poland for Wikimania I believe a package or two got lost then as well. We just have bad luck with the mail :( Maybe we can start to document this kind of "best practice" for mailing things around the world on meta or the outreach wiki for any big future events -- things like mailing to an individual rather than an organization, or having to enclose a letter of origin, are very useful to know and will make it much smoother in future.
And yes, maybe distributing printing so a chapter takes it on for the region might be the way to go in future -- let's try it next time!
This is definitely way so wise and helpful idea!
Also usual delivery time could be written there, customs requirements and so on, local delivery companies (does FedEx/UPS/... branch exist in such country?) etc...
And aside of this, also money transfer possibilities could/should be written somewhere. Eg. to the Czech Republic, there are about 8 different ways of wire transfer, which varies on fees and other conditions.
