Get yourself a heat shield, and throw the parcel really hard—backward. //
The Earth’s atmosphere weighs as much as a layer of water 10 meters thick. To figure out whether a meteor is likely to make it through, you can imagine that it’s literally hitting a 10-meter layer of water. If the object weighs more than the water it would have to push aside to reach the surface, it will probably make it through. This works pretty well for a rough approximation!
