which shipping service is best?
 

Hi guys, I was wondering in your guys experience, which shipping carrier has worked the best for you? I know dhl and ups ship much faster then ems/hong kong post or anything of the nature, but is it true Dhl is "safer" also? And by safer I mean with customs and stuff

wasn't sure if this was the right section to post so mods you can move this thread if needed, thanks!

There is no "safer". Some will tell you DHL is safer, and some will swear by EMS. But the fact is that ANY package coming into the US can be inspected by Customs REGARDLESS of who the carrier is.

If they find counterfeit merchandise, drugs, or any other illegal items, the package will be seized. What happens after that depends on what was in the package. If it were, for example, a few box sets of ⊗⊗⊗⊗ DVD's, you will get a letter in the mail. If it was 10,000 Vicodin pills, then I suggest that you MOVE - QUICKLY!

Here is the thing.... A few years ago, it was easy to order counterfeits, rarely was anything ever seized. It is now much harder to get such items through - with ANY carrier. Of course they cannot look at EVERYTHING, but don't believe anyone who tells you it is "safe" because that would be a lie.

If your business plan involves anything illegal, I seriously urge you to reconsider. There are PLENTY of legitimate things you can bring in and make a profit on. No, not 300%+ but those profits are short lived.

Well said:amen:=}

6 Years I've been using EMS, and never had one problem. Every week a new DHL horror story is posted here so go figure. BTW, DHL is NOT faster... And it should only be considered with huge quantities since it should lower your shipping costs. As far as lower risk. You take your chances either way.

IDK speaks truth.
