Hi Does anyone know the best shipping method for packages to ship for international countries using USPS, UPS, Fedex? tracking services too Ex: For canada, whats the best method for each shipping carriers?
I am using FedEx International Ground for shipping bulky and heavy items as they have better rates than USPS and UPS. And I am using USPS for shipping small packages - for some reason USPS delivers them faster and cheaper. You have to fill out a custom form and they will tell you all available price options.
If you ask me, since I'm selling small items USPS is the best choice because it's low-cost and most of all it has a speedy delivery to other parts of the world.
their tracking number doesn't make any sense as soon as a package crosses the line between US and other country. This is what they told me once, when I brought my receipt and asked where my package was. They said they don't have any control beyond US territory, though they can tell you where your package is within the US
I would think that an internation shipping service such as UPS or Fedex would be best for international shipping. USPS usually screws you over in the long run when you use them.
I know people who have worked for fedex and trust me the uk side is not the best of places parcels getting ripped up by machine lines people who are untrustworth handling 10k rolex's i would never use them.
