Sending Overseas? Dont Use FedEX. - GoFuckYourself.com

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 03:50 PM

Ive used FedEx for years now.
Nothing beats em. Nothing! They are the best. For using locally.

But today I wanted to send some shit to the Czech Republic, something i have done for a while now with USPS Global Priotity mail for 12.75

Well after confusing the fuck, and having to fill out all this paper work for customs, more than the necassary aomunt i usually do, the total came out to 94.00!! An this was the economy shipping, not priority!! I argued with him and told him something was wrong. It shoulndt cost that much to send 2 small t-shirts on the economy service with fedex. Accordint to him prioroty would be 160.00!! for 2 fucking shirts!

Holy Fuck!
I took the shirts back over to usps, and did the proirity with them, and it cost me 14.75

Economy would cost me $8.75
big difference!!

Shit!

$160? are they for real? These people thought they could trick a celebrity.....

DHL gotta be cheaper

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 03:57 PM

does it cost someone in the czech republic this much to send something to the US via fedex?

This is the first time ive used fedex to send out of the US-Canada.

I had no idea it was so much, and such a fucking hastle.
I was filling out paperwork for 5 minutes, while this gook was looking up custom laws and shit.

Using Fed ex to send to the US and Canada from the US and canada is about the same price as USPS.

But when sending overseas, FUUUUUUUUUCK.
The negros aint got no hook up for me.

Don't use DHL either!

They 'tried' to deliver a package to my old address which was a brand new house, in a brand new neighborhood, in an area that was rapidly growing and expanding. When they couldn't find it on an old map they had, they returned it to sender ~ and they did this twice! Even with my phone number printed on the address sticker!

I had to call their 800 number and TELL them to call the post office, Fed Ex, or UPS if they wanted to know how to get to my house, or I'd be happy to give the driver directions. Package showed up a few days later with directions scribbled on the box.

I was not impressed at their total lack of initiative. I would have to strongly reccomend against anyone taking the risks involved with using DHL.

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 04:10 PM

this must be the leading carrier in 3rd world countries like england?

ldinternet · 10-09-2002, 04:12 PM

UPS is the best.

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 04:13 PM

yeah ive never heard of fucking dhl.

this is america. Fed Ex, USPS, or UPS is it.

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 04:13 PM

anyhow, dont use fuckign FedEx for sending overseas, when you can use USPS which is almost as good for wayyyyyyy cheaper.

Theo · 10-09-2002, 04:13 PM

good question,i'll have to ask my partner what's going on with such cases. He owns a shipping/transportation company and i know that some of the air transportations they occasionaly do for way larger packages are in reasonable prices. When it comes to ship transportations the prices are very low. I bet these companies overcharge their customers.

boneprone · 10-09-2002, 04:14 PM

also Jesus Mail is good.

ldinternet · 10-09-2002, 04:17 PM

What the fuck is USPS?

Consignia is always good, in third world countries such as mine.
