Yeah. I have found that myself in shipping out hard drives.
I ship out all over the world. I used to send them from my PakMail which is down the street. However, they would 9 of 10 times be held at the FedEx office. I would have to call or go in there to fill out additional paperwork.
Sometimes is just needed a commerical invoice. Other times, you have to change the value on the package. Some will require they be over, or under, a certain amount. You will also, sometimes, have to mark that it is NOT for resale, and/or manufacturer.
This was a major pain when you are just shipping a hard drive with content.
That said, I found that if you simply have PakMail or MailBox Inc package your shit up, then go to the Kinko FedEx it is cheaper. Like easily $50.00 cheaper alone as an average Joe. If you get a business account, and THEN do your shipping. You save another 30%.
On top of the money savings, they also tell you what you need to, or not to, put on your invoice to get that bullshit to clear customs the FIRST time. Especially in regards to taxes. You can pay them yourself, or you can have recipient pay them.
