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.

1218509 2011-07-23 12:00:00 Eschew Swiss Post unless you want your parcel to suffer excruciatingly for the longest possible time, marginally falling short of eternity.
For being bad, they are very, very good.

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...
