I’m fairly new to reps and was reading through an FAQ sticky, when I ran across a quick mention, in caps may I add, to never, ever use FedEx for shipping reps.

This suprised me, because I use FedEx for my Amazon business, so I’m accustomed to FedEx.

It also had me alarmed. I recently ordered a watch and naturally selected FedEx. It hasn’t shipped, yet. I’ll reach out to the seller to make a change during QC.

I guess my question for everyone is, what courier is most reliable and why is FedEx a no no?

The seller’s options are...
  • DHL
  • USPS
  • Fedex
  • HongKong Post
  • Shun Feng
  • Trans Shipping

FedEx is strict with customs and will confiscate you watch

It will not clear customs its a rep

EMS is safest usually, but slower.

Yup, FEDEX get paid for finding customs violations so they tend to be more thorough. Same with DHL in the US.

Thanks, everyone. Good to know about FedEx and DHL. I'll be switching to EMS/USPS!
