Hello guys, have question specially for the american applicants.

I did search before I post this, but I did not get any answer that I am looking for.

Anyway I am done preparing my ITA paperwork and ready to ship it out. I choose Fedex service on this. However, when I check on the fedex.com, I am having trouble of choosing my service. I did check on the international section (the Intl' fedex service) and it was asking me the zip code of the destination.
I looked at the choices, and none of the choices are the same as the zip code that I got from the ITA letter from them.
Any thoughts on that? thank's so much in advance...

I tried a FedEx quote using the "Postal Code" of SW1Y 4TE and it accepted it. A bit on the pricey side, at least coming from my zip (~$35 for express, ~$48 for economy??). I was at the post office picking up my ITA and they have Global mailing as well, for somewhat cheaper. Also don't forget to check UPS and DHL.

I know I'm still awaiting my FBI clearance to come back so shipping is a later thing for me. Right now I'm trying desperately to convince my healthcare provider that I do in fact need a physical/X-Ray and not just "immunizations for travel" from the county traveler's clinic. This is going to be a rather large package when I send it off.

well our package will not be that big and heavy at all. That's include X-rays and all others.
About FBI, you can actually call them and ask them if it's possible for them to send it back to you on certain dates (your desire date).

I don't have my package yet, but may I suggest Global Priority from the good old postoffice. I use it nearly every day and have very good results, way cheaper, and you get a tracking number.
Good luck everyone! :cool

what about DHL? anybody experience with them? I did send something to Indonesia once via DHL, and it arrived promptly. It just one of the items that I sent was broken (maybe this due to my own fault; the way I arranged it).

[cloudboy99]

I know that, at least in the US, that DHL purchased/acquired/merged with Airborne Express and I shipped tons of very heavy Sun Microsystems servers with them with no problems. This was all domestic though...

Hello,
We have used Express Intl UPS 4 times to NZ, successfully. And, I just got confirmation that our passports arrived on schedule... we are waiting for our visa stamps.
