    SA's just as bad. trust me bro, since I was in diapers we never could trust packages (even mail) to make it to it's destination in that country.

    I blame the white SA's for the postal downturn!

    If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

      As far as USPS sucking, at least they don't bend you over at the border like UPS and FedEx do.

      UPS charges their brokerage fee, a brokerage fee "tax" and an additional fee for paying themselves for you at the border. It often ends up being close to 50% of the package cost.

      FedEx on the other hand will give you the package like everything is cool, then send you a bill a week later. While it is less than UPS fees, its frustrating when you order some ARP studs for like $200, then get a bill the week after they arrive for $35.

      Both FedEx and UPS have yet to let duty slide, while USPS tends to let it go every once in a while (it's a nice suprise when it is something big like a turbo)

        I ship with USPS daily. Most of my package arrive in 2-3 days. And when yous ship the same day, you can order something on a Friday, and it will show up on Monday. I'm very happy with USPS really. You can't beat the price too. I almost never have issues with domestic service. International is a different story.

        Pro tip: If you ship a part internationally, never put "BMW" in the description. There's a lot of post offices in other countries will just steal it if it says BMW on it. Africa(except SA), Brazil, and some of the old soviet block countries.
        I wouldnt make SA and exception. I have had them steal stuff out of mail many times.
