Did you know that you can send a package internationally through the US Postal Service at a more affordable rate? And ironically, the USPS uses FedEx to personally deliver the package to the receiver.

Check it out...you'll save a lot of money. :)

YES, the US Post Office offers the Express Package for around $25 and you can fill the envelope with whatever fits inside and ironically Fed Ex is the primary shipper (not the US Post Office). If you went to Fed Ex directly it would cost around $65. I sent 2-$25 Express Mail packages to my wife and both time she had no problems. Good Luck, BMB!

Actually, USPS packages using FedEx planes is accomplished on the 'down time', meaning when the planes are being used for FedEx packages during the prime delivery times, they fill the planes with USPS packages and deliver them. Also, FedEx does not deliver USPS packages to the door step. And in many countries, third parties complete the delivery, such as in Philippines... Air21 is the business partner that is licensed and authorized to use FedEx logos.

FedEx is the best!!!

My worst experience was with DHL when shipping time sensitive materials at work to Austria - it end up in Australia - that's a classic for me.

Go with FedEx -they rule...

FedEx is the best - especially dealing with international packages. They are so much better at getting items through customs so much faster than UPS. I ship packages every day at work and we have over 60 international customers that we ship to. FedEx has the best track record for us and their customer service is outstanding. When I have a problem with a package ie. that it was sent to a wrong address or wrong level of service, FedEx can take care of the package.

Last week, I shipped something UPS (the customer's request) and when the customer wanted to change the level of service, all I heard was "unfortunately once the package has left, we cannot change it." THAT sucked. You won't have that problem with FedEx.

Our company has quit accepting packages from DHL and TNT. THEY are nightmares! Every time I hear DHL - I cringe.

We are not really sure that we can't hear a nightmare with FEDEX, maybe someone will come out and will say how nightmare they got, thats the reason why i want that someone to come out.

I have sent a box of my personal items via FEDEX, weighing about 20kgs, some new and some used items, from Florida to Malaysia. Cost me USD350 but arrived in perfect condition and within 3 - 4 days. No complaints.

Well thats good for you, maybe it is because the package goes to Malaysia, and theres no custom that are not having their shopping spree while inspecting the package and theres an employee of FEDEX that making sure that the package are not been ransacked.
