Re: Outrageous International Shipping Prices !!!

Brokeraging customs

UPSP charges something like $5 flat with no insurance
FedEx charges it differently.
UPS is the aboslute worst of the carrier for Brokerages and misc. cross broder charges.

Re: Outrageous International Shipping Prices !!!

In addition, USPS then hands off the package to a "local" group to complete the shipment when it clears the US.

If something happens with the shipment (lost, damaged etc.).. then it becomes a nightmare for the end user.

Also, you don't get the live tracking services that a FedEx provides.

Trust me, i hate how much FedEx charges but at the end of the day, they do provide a good service depending on what you are shipping and the urgency and accountable for a package requirement.

The past year in my business, logistics has been the most fustrating thing, that's probably why i keep posting here LOL
