Fed-Ex is by far the best form of overseas shipping. Full, comprehensive tracking is available at www.FedEx.com. Prices range according to weight, however Fed-Ex are able to ship packages anywhere in the US within 48 hours, and the rest of the world in a few days. Full and comprehensive tracking is available through www.FedEx.com. We have never heard of a case of a Fed-Ex package go missing, however full compenstaion is available, with the exception of glass products. Legal Highs, Mushrooms and seeds are not able to be shipped via Fed-Ex. Please note, that while Fed-Ex offer a 'next day' service, the intricities of customs mean that packages rarely arrive on the next actual day. Fed-Ex will try to deliver the package to you several times, however if you are not available and unable to be contacted, Fed-Ex will eventually send the items back to ourselves. They charge us a fenominal amount to return packages, which differs in each case. PLEASE make sure you are available to sign for your Fed-Ex package, as any extra charges incurred by us, will be passed on to you. |
