What's the difference between these shipping methods?

[Youmadbrah]

• USPS Live (First Class Mail International Parcels) $13.00
• USPS Live (Priority Mail International) $41.75
• USPS Live (Express Mail International) $48.00
• USPS Live (Priority Mail Flat Rate Box) $57.95
• USPS Live (Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box) $70.95

I made an order from vaperbomb with first option. What's the difference of these??

I know that Express mail will use Fedex or DHL. Not sure about the rest.

Just the price would be my guess but then I have been known to be wrong occasionally. I feel sure all of them will go by air so I think you made the right choice. When I am given the choice I choose first class over priority. Used to be that priority meant something. Now it just seems like it is a way to charge more. My purchases get to me as fast and sometimes faster just using first class. JMHO

I just found first class international doesn't have tracking ,right ?? In this case I'd ask Vaperbomb to upgrade to Express. There is no way I'll recieve anything if there is no tracking.

I wish I could help you. I guess if you are sure you won't receive your shipment if there is no tracking number then an upgrade to at least priority would be best. At least with priority I am sure they can ship them with a confirmation #. I just don't know all the ends and outs of shipping from the US to Egypt. May be best to contact the vender and talk to them about your concerns. Good luck

USPS express mail international is trackable to any address in the world.
That is the safest. I have insisted to sellers to use this service as it is the
best for both seller and buyer.

i totally agree with jp...other countries the mail service has some real problems,,a trackable number is by far the best option !!

Trackable #s are great when they actualy use them which is not allways the case !

 

[jpracing]

They do if you use USPS express mail international
or the equivalent to EMS anywhere else in the world
