Expect to pay through the nose and get the run around trying to collect .Also expect that your stuff will go through customs and you may have to pay duty before you can collect .Same goes for UPS.

ohh dear, i had the same thing, they called me and i got slugged with big fees and import duties and tryed to get as much extra money out of me as they could and they did. I had no choice. Never made the mistake of having stuff sent my Fed Ex again.

that woud have been UPS.

If you use USPS and you are not at home you get a card an collect from your nearest mailcentre.Its also cheaper.

The only one worse than FedEx is UPS. Expect to get hammered Paul.
