USPS Flat rate box and Flat rate envelope

USPS
USPS Flat rate boxes  are a great way to save on Heavy packages, as long as the package does not exceed 20 pounds (9.07 kg). USPS offers different options:

DHL

Very fast and very reliable. Offers better tracking than USPS.  We offer both DHL and Economy service. Size limits: Max. length 108 inches. Length + (2 x width) + (2 x height) less than 130 inches.

If you use DHL please pay attention to tracking number. DHL will attempt to contact you regarding customs duty in your country. You either have to clear customs yourself or authorize DHL to do it for you. You will do it with your local DHL branch. Call them once you see your package arrived in your country. If the DHL is not able to contact you they might keep package for 5 days and either send it back or destroy it. Due to the high cost of sending it back (usually triple of our rates) we strongly recommend that you keep track of incoming packages and communicate with DHL.  Bigger packages might be sent through DHL freight.

Container Rates

We can offer container rates , quote basis only, for example: Vehicles or Furniture Purchases..
MAILING CONDITION FOR ALL PACKAGES

We recommend to only ship packages with a maximum value less than $2,500 because of complicated regulations and reporting for more expensive packages (EEI Electronic Export Information - SED Shipper's Export Declaration). In case you want us to prepare EEI we charge $40 + $10 per item in the package for DHL shipments only, but we strongly recommend to re-pack and keep value of each package below $2,500.
