Has anyone had any bad experiences receiving internet purchases? I see the costs are outrageous for a Fed Ex package.

Rod,
We have used a few shipping methods for our internet purchases with cost depending on the method used to ship.
聽 As you have stated Fed Ex also UPS and DHL can be expensive. Though depending on the importance of the item you may decide the expense is justified.
聽 We occasionally ship Herbal and other medicinal products from a single supplier and the method of shipment is the United States Postal Service with reasonable price compared to those like Fed Ex or UPS.. We have had no trouble receiving the shipments in good condition and pay a small fee a the local post office when we go to pick up the parcel. Ship time average two to three weeks with a small flat rate box averaging around $30.
聽 We have a friend back home who is also a Balikbayan shipper for items we can afford to wait for such as clothing items, hand tools or electronics that are purchased from a variety of stores such as Wal Mart, Kohl's, K mart, Amazon, Sears, etc. All of the items are sent to the Balikbayan shipper and she will then place them in a shipping box and ships when near full. If you plan for what you need and make those purchases in a close time frame, you can fill the box quickly and have them shipped asap. So far, ship time is 2 to 3 months at a cost of about a $120 dollars per box from the Eastern U.S. 24x24x18 inch boxes to your door.These can be shipped via Star Cargo, LBC, Forex, Atlas and possibly more depending on the area of the country you are shipping from and personal choice. We have not yet been assessed any tax or duty on a Balikbayan box.
聽 The bottom line seems to be if you want it quickly, you're going to pay.

聽 Jim
