How to mail us!

To email us, that's an easy one! Family@BartonsOnBoard.com

If you want to send us a "little something", or a "BIG SOMETHING", it’s possible! But it could also cost us a lot of money. Read the guidelines carefully, please!

To send NORMAL MAIL (flat regular envelopes) for free, please use this address:

Tyrone Barton - Food Service (or Stephanie, Tytus, Ezra)
Mercy Ships-AFM- Via Crew Mail
P.O. Box 2020
Lindale, TX, 75771

This is free for us, and will only cost you the regular price of U.S. postage. It will arrive within 2 weeks.

*Packages* sent through CREW MAIL arrive quickly but cost us $.55/ounce(or $8.80 a pound). This adds up very fast. It gets taken out of our account.

Mercy Ships-AFM- Via Container

Anything sent through the container method, no matter the size, is free. BUT it will take 2 to 3 months to reach us on the ship! If you plan ahead, it’s worth it. It’s not good for perishable items or things that melt.
