Hello Everyone,
 
In your opinion, who has the best rates and services when it comes to international shipping...FedEx, UPS, DHL, or USPS?  I`m new at this international business stuff....
 
Thanks,
DayDreamer

In my day job we ship a lot of doucments internationally. Generally our first choice has always been to ship via FedEx.  However we have learned from speaking with our customers and in dealing with the FedEx reps. that FedEx does not ship to all countries. In those cases we ship using DHL.  I don`t know if anyones actually done a cost comparison lately.  It`s just been that way since I`ve been here.

I would call each, get a rep, and ask to send you a quote on what you want to do. Let them work for it, and you can then compare. We ship internationally, overnight, 25KG boxes, and use fedex. They have been 97% reliable, customs falls down, or so fedex says. Give yourself that room when doing overnight shipping internationally.
