<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 2721419, member: 51347&quot;]If you have an option, I always go with FedEx and/or I specifically REQUEST it.&nbsp; This is NOT an advert.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Throughout my 40 year career, I have shipped product all over the world, received product, etc.&nbsp; Virtually all in Full or LCL Containers.&nbsp; However, for samples, test product, review items, etc. I always shipped via FedEx.&nbsp; I usually got them through customs, etc. (with proper documentation, valuation, etc.) with a minimal of hassle.&nbsp; And yes, I have had a LOT of true overnite deliveries from/to Asia and/or Europe. I have tried MANY delivery options, PO&#039;s, Courier Services, Overnites, etc...&nbsp; All in all: Unbelievable considering the LOGISTICS of rapid transport worldwide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I HAVE experienced critical delays:&nbsp; YES, Chinese customs have quarantined items for inspection. Yes, a volcano blew off in Alaska grounding all planes, and delayed my critical overnite shipment.&nbsp; Yes, some European customs inspector had some odd questions for obvious items.&nbsp; Yes, I have had to prove Brand certifications for our items. Etc.&nbsp; However, these are less than 0.1% exceptions to the performance received.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, whenever I purchase coins, if the valuation warrants it, I try to get them shipped via FedEx.&nbsp; Need NOT be overnite, but there are shipping options.&nbsp; They are always consistent for me.&nbsp; I just had a coin shipped from Vienna 24-April, through customs, and it is scheduled for tomorrow 10:30AM delivery.&nbsp; Worst case, I will have it Friday.&nbsp; It is a $125 coin.&nbsp; I have had the same service with over $10k in coins (just had to pay some duties).</p><p><br /></p><p>It is worth the $10-$20 charges (dependent on Country) for this assurance.&nbsp; I usually cost that into my coin&#039;s Landed Cost so I understand my true valuations.&nbsp; I strive to make things easy.</p><p><br /></p><p>My 2 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
