Which courier do you prefer?

DHL express service is really fast.

Psavne Acme 805 tube shipped on this Tuesday in China is going to be delivered at my home in Washington State on Thursday.

DHL should be fast . Last year I got a quote from them for a 30 lb package from Minneapolis to Berlin .  They seemed to think $2,200 was
a good deal .

Here’s my criteria: For shipping as seller and buyer, I want hassle free, no damage. Shipping speed isn’t a big concern. Cost is secondary. And if there is any damage, pay up.

For shipping from U.S:
1) <any location> USPS is unbeatable. Rarely breaks anything - always pay up without hassle.

2) <domestic only> UPS is great if and only if you pack the way you’re supposed to (check their guidelines) or you hire UPS Store to pack it for you (always pay up).

I would never use FedEx nor FedEx Ground. Damage many of my stuff. Never paid up a single penny. One time, the damage return FedEx guy picked up an GOOD package I just received at my door, claimed no damage seen, then damage it when it was returned to me. No apology. No insurance pay.



For shipping from international:
1) DHL Express and DHL Packet. The one and only. Wouldn’t trust anybody else.

Dhl Express is very fast..

I got delivery of Acme 805 tube around noon today which had been shipped from China on Tuesday.

I may try to use DHL if I will ship it fast overseas.

Otherwise I will use USPS for international shipping.
