International Shipping Advice

Helloa I was wondering does anyone know who the best carrier is to send parcels abroad. I know that FedEX is good for the States and UPS for Europe, but does anyone know which one is the best all around and do they help with custom's, if not is there any companies that have a selection of carriers which I can choose from and are good when it comes to custom documentation and safe arrival of goods?

tough question as each company always has their advantages and disadvantages... i think it is always best to keep both on hand and go with the one that has the advantage that you need at that time! ,)

That would be expensive and I have to deal with two companies , aint there no singular company that can do it?

Do the goods you are shipping need to be sent via a tracked/signed-for/insured shipping service or can they be sent via standard airmail?. I use both and could let you know about my experiences.

I need them tracked but I want a choice of carriers not just be limited to FedEx or DHL
