| 1218501 | 2011-07-23 02:43:00 | Hey I need to send a Mini-itx board to a mate in the us, which would be the best company and cheapest to use? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1218502 | 2011-07-23 09:35:00 | DHL with courier post. | sahilcc7 (15483) | ||
| 1218503 | 2011-07-23 10:29:00 | Second that. Use tracking. And you should be good. I just sent some biscuits over to someone in the US. Took 3 weeks (Independence Day Holiday so a delay.) |

| 1218507 | 2011-07-23 11:02:00 | DHL would be the best price deal ... it's with NZ Post :p It's insured always. DHL is International Express. I once sent a digital SLR camera for warranty it cost about $50NZ. 1 week delivery. Fedex, UPS etc .. yeah. I think you can contact DHL themselves if you want a 2 or 3 day delivery :D I did that with someone's country identity card. |

| 1218508 | 2011-07-23 11:29:00 | I've never sent anything overseas but have purchased quite a few things, ranging from spare torch parts to CCFL backlights for LCD monitors to large laser printer cartridges. I think the number one thing you should be concerned with is good quality packaging and protection of the item, followed by a reliable company and an insured and tracked service if the item is expensive. FedEx has always impressed me with fast service, and USPS has also been quite quick. I've read a lot of bad things about UPS (Usually referred to as 'Universal Package Smashers') though, but I guess you only have that option in USA anyway. |

| 1218510 | 2011-07-23 12:40:00 | They must have been awesome biscuits. Anzac, Gingernuts, Afghans and Gingerbread men. She ate them within a week. Just under 1.8 kilos worth. Which while I was glad, was a little peeved off about... Oh well, when she sends me some Oxygen absorbers, Shake N Bake and Native American Indian trinkets I'm gonna send some more bikkies back. Perhaps a cake or two... |
