Title: International Shipping
Post by: ws on February 09, 2013, 12:03 am
Which shipping method works best when it comes to international shipping air or surface mail?

Airmail...

Faster shipping
More likely to be X-rayed?
Might hold smell from vac-sealed packages in longer?
Usually tracked so you know if it passes customs etc

Surface...

Longer shipping
Less likely to be x-rayed?
Smell might begin to leak out more over time?
Usually non-tracked so you wouldnt know about seizure until customs letter arrives.

What are your thoughts, I'm a newbie so just wondering which way is safest from people who either ship or receive international packages?

I guess vendors don't really want to give out tricks of the trade eh?  ;)
