shipping pros and cons

[marty_1194]

Does any one have some advice for international shipping to the US? What is the safest and fastest method? I am getting ready to order and I want to do this right. I have done about 5 cycles before this. I have never order it myself. I always purchased through a friend until he got shady and ran with my dough. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just had a regular airmail package (non-AAS) take 4 1/2 weeks to USA from germany.

Also had 2 recent packs from israel sent ems to USA. 1st pack took 4 days, second pack took 6.

They say regular airmail has a better chance of getting through customs. However with ems, you have a tracking number and can track it the entire way. If something does happen to it and customs snaggs it, you can make any necessary preparations. I do not like waiting 4 weeks for gear. My guy packs good and gives me 100% reship. So I am satisfied with EMS.

Personally I know nothing about ordering gear international but I'd definitally keep my house very clean until pack arrives and shortly after as well........................MX

Thanks for the advice and the tips. I will ship EMS. As far as the clean house goes, I am shipping to a relatives house. So, I am good there.
