The Russian Postal Service and the Meteorite
One of the most popular jokes was that the meteorite was supposed to fall on
Dec. 21 last year -- when many believed the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world -- but was delivered late by Russia's notoriously inefficient postal service.

This is the only CD out of about 40 mailed out worldwide that did not get through. Apparently this is not an isolated problem with Russian mailings as the member asked us to send the CD to a friend in the US who would be able to get it to him. Bill |

Bill The solution to send something safely and fast to Russia, that I tested and that perfectly worked, was by FedEx. It was expensive though. BTW, it was the same carrier that I used to send important documents from NYC to Chicago.

IF you live in the rural, clean, friendly US, then they dump it off to some slob who may, or may not, bring it down a week later in the back of his pickup. |

That's the point, it works. NO! The -=point=- is that FedUp ONLY works if you live in a city! UPS has the same overseas services and -=works=- eveywhere! |

It's the same point, because UPS works too. More exactly, there is a reason why so many are paying more for the services of private couriers. FedEx was just an example, because it has worked for me in the same country in which the national postal service hasn't for Bill (as posted by him in this thread). -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

As said, Fedup Hex ONLY uses their system in the big ****ties. In the rura areas it's dumped into someone's pickup and comes [or not!] a week later. So paying MORE for less ... ??? Guess you think that's good! |

Even if not this one was my subject, let us see what think others, who most probably know mo "Given that overall cart abandonment rates rose to 75 percent in the first six months of 2011, according to SeeWhy, the conversion and remarketing firm, retailers need to do everything they can to lower shipping costs. .... Which Carrier Is Best? Each carrier has a lot to offer. For example, USPS Priority Mail is an excellent choice for fast, low-cost shipping, and USPS is the only carrier that does not charge extra for Saturday delivery or that can service post office boxes. UPS had the largest ground fleet with an estimated 101,900 trucks (or "package cars," as the company calls them). FedEx was the leader in prices, and the most green, with 329 hybrid vehicles, 19 electric vehicles, and 406 alternative fuel vehicles. So, which is best? The bottom line is that it depends on what you ship, where you ship it and what packing-materials needs you have, if any. It depends on your customer service needs, and your sensitivity to environmental issues. The best solution for your ecommerce business may not be the best for mine. It depends." http://www.practicalecommerce.com/ar...h-is-Best-Now- -- Victor Manta, PWO, AIJP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
