    I point blank refuse to have anything I have bought shipped by Fed
    Ex because of the cost (for this reason I do not buy from Thaigem any
    more as that is the only method they use). Every time they have
    shipped something to me they have added import duties and taxes, plus
    a handling charge, even when they were not required by law. The
    amounts involved were not enough to make a fuss about as the package
    values were low, but when it happens too often the costs mount up. I
    always request that purchases I make from the US are sent either USPS
    First Class or Global Priority, both of which have never yet let me
    down. So far USPS has proved to be nearly as good as our own Post
    Office here in the UK.
