You outcho damn mind. USPS. Nothing but trouble and high ass costs with UPS and FedEx. I just sent a package a week ago to Hong Kong. Weighed about 7 pounds. Shipped 3 day global, insured, confirmation, $36. Shipped on a Wednesday and got there on Saturday morning his time (Friday night for us I think). FedEx was like $112 for the same package :disgust: Didn't even bother with UPS.

Roenin (a trader here) who lives in Kuwait turned me on to international shipping, and do it frequently now. I sent a package (a game, no box) to the UK by regular air mail and it got there in 4 days...$5.50. You simply can't beat it.

Very easy to do

I was quoted at $28 for 2 day service to Netherlands from Fedex...

$28 aint so bad. Mine was so high because he said they didn't know what I was talking about (the address). It's still extremely high.

Depending on how big it is (size wise), 3-5 days will run you $5-$9 from the USPS. $5 for a small envelope, $9 for a large (both up to a pound).

DHL specializes in fast delivery of documents.

Can you explain who they are? I've gotten several DHL shipments (mostly from Asia) and can't figure it out. What I've been told is that DHL does the delivery outside of the US. Like when I shipped my package to HK, USPS got it out of the country, and DHL handled it to HK and HK Post (their mail) delivered it to the door. I bought something from China, was shipped by their postal system, DHL got it from there to the US, and the US Postal service got it to my place. Had DHL tags all over it, yet was delivered by the postman.

Yes DHL is pretty good. I once send my computer (without monitor) from Germany to the U.S. and it still worked fine when my computer arrived here.

DHL IS good.


For some reason I remember DHL and USPS sharing planes....seriously...
