Shipping from States??

Post by Damon Z1000 »

Picked something up from the States a while ago and I've just been informed that the parcel was an unsuccessful delivery with USPS.

The fella that sent it said he would send it with my prefered shipping company if I wanted......... so who shall I suggest?

Thanx in advance.

You could also try using DHL or Federal Express (FedEx).....they are both international freight companies with a good reputation...

agreed about DHL, they never seem quite as expensive as fedex from what i've heard about 'em. Then again i've heard horror stories (see ttc's pipes story) so just make sure its insured.

usps is united states postal service...meaning they only ship within us guidelines.....sucks...but what can we do!? damn I'm american and I hate it here! lol

I would use UPS or fed ex if I were you....ups is alot better when handling your packages and what not....at least that is the word that is going on right now here. I've had issues with fed ex before...showed late, box all bent up and shit....ups, great service!! on time!!! perfect!

most of the stuff I get from the US has always been via USPS......including the Yoshi RS3. A lot of the other stuff has been smaller packages than that....
