If you are on tight schedule and need the shipment very fast, you have following two options
- USPS Express Mail International, limitations are the same as with USPS PMI above. Service differs by speed of delivery, approx. 3-6 days depending on destination. Price includes automatic insurance in value of $100 and shipment has more detailed tracking.
EMI (EMS) shipments are being delivered on Sundays too!
- DHL Express is suitable for shipments with higher value or where speed is essential.
For shipments with DHL Express you must keep in mind that for quotes is used volumetric weight, light and big shipments will be more expensive than original quote. To get proper quote, insert dimensions of the shipment.
For shipments of high importance and delivery times upto 3 days use
DHL Express
For large shipments to the most of European countries we offer sea cargo option Polonez Parcel Service, it's suitable for large and heavy shipments. Delivery times are long, about 6-10 weeks but for some shipments is this service completely unreplacable.
Shipment consolidation
our guys will take good care of proper packaging of your shipment set from more than one shipment in your Mailbox, masters in puzzles and tetris. While setting up the shipment you must keep in mind certain limitations that wouldn§t cross your mind unless you see the packages personally.
- Weight and fragility - when you are shipping spare parts for your Cadillac, don't mix brake pads with headlights. It might seem logical now but we solve this problem several times a week and it doesn't matter how properly you pack it because handling by carrier and gravity will sooner or later cause that brakepads will take a look where are bulbs hiding..
- Length and volume - if you combine in one shipment samurai sword and rubber ball for excercising, belive me, it doesn't match. The volume of shipment will reach limits of postal services or will inflate shipping price a lot because huge light package equals expensive shipping.
