Important Foreign shipping Info

2005-02-20 by Paul Schreiber

Since Christmas, I have received several "complaints" that modules shipped 
overseas by US Mail is taking a very long time to arrive.

I think that customs offices are to blame, as well as generally slow mail 
service.

Also: these types of packages ARE NOT TRACKABLE. We cannot track them for you. 
Chances are, they are just sitting in your local customs office/post office.

Now, there are *2* ways that we can ship so that your modules can be tracked AND 
delivered in less than 5 days: UPS Global and EMS.

Both of these methods are fully tracked (UPS has station-by-station tracking, 
EMS does not but I've never had a lost EMS package in 9 years). Of course, 
either method is expensive -  $35 for the first module, $18 for each module 
after that. Rails add $18/pr.

So, if you *really* want to be able to track your shipment and get about 4 day 
delivery, just put EXPRESS SHIPPING in the comment field.

At least in Canada You can call customs & you can find out the status of the
package  (ie if it's been through customs, if it's sitting there, or if it's
left).  I'm not sure about other countries.

 

Also, for what it's worth, UPS is by far the most expensive way to get
something across the border.  Their customs (brokerage) charges are based on
the value of the item, and are not a set fee.  I've had $90 brokerage
charges from them before (not including duty & taxes).  You might actually
save money by having it shipped by a faster courier
