Parcel: Quickest Way to US

jetsonx

I need to send a light electronic component ( about half the size of a
video cassette ) to the USA in a hurry.

Any recommendations ?

Aer Lingus leaves shannon about 8 am in the morning, you would be there about 9 am local time...... ( you never said within reason......:D )

They have never lost a package and I send a lot of [STRIKE]dogdy[/STRIKE] packages. I would consider that a good reason.

I've sent a few things to Australia via DHL and they've always been decent and quick. Albeit some things were a bit pricey.
Failing that I'd go for Fed Ex too, gotten stuff delivered from the States by them and they're grand and dandy and pretty quick too. I've been using that expression far too much recently.

Fed-ex have never let me down over the years.
Not the cheapest but are reliable imo.

Whoever you choose, just make sure to prepare a customs invoice or it won't go anywhere.

Catapult.

Only way to go really.

FedEX - expensive but fantastic for speed and reliability.

I was just gonna say... if you're trying to get something there ASAP, it sure is possible, but you'll pay quite a lot for it.

That's really the downside of it all.

haha! Even then, the package made it? This beats my experiences of DHL.
(I think. My memory of this film is rather hazy: plane crash...ball as friend... smacks out tooth with ice skate... makes it home somehow or another...with package(s)?)

Fedex are the best in the usa, next day pre 1300 to most parts of the states, you can get it cheaper if you go through a secondary agent for them, Try cyclone on (01)4757888

They will supply the customs form, it won't be accepted without it. Wilson ftw!
