UPS, FEDX and DHL all ship overseas and they all offer tracking services.

walkman Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Shipping overseas is very expensive compared to shipping within the US. Canada is about the only one that is reasonable. USPS is usually the cheapest but they don't offer tracking. I think you'll need some significant volume to negotiate better rates. Also note that some countries are notorious for scam orders. Be sure you know who you're dealing with oversears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
