<p>[QUOTE="-monolith-, post: 24772385, member: 150064"]Make sure to select FedEx for oversea delivery if given an option. I believe Savoca only uses FedEx. I made the mistake of selecting DHL to save $10-$15 dollars and it took more than 6 weeks for delivery after the payment cleared. I usually receive FedEx in 5-7 days, the fastest was 3 days from London. Also Savoca uses Euro's which has a slightly lower conversion rate then Swiss Francs (CHF).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you not familiar with overseas purchases here's some advice:</p><p>1. Go to Biddr.com <a href="https://www.biddr.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biddr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.biddr.com/</a> and create an account.</p><p>2.
