[Give It A Whirl, Pearl!]

    Was FedEx now Global Priority USPS 

    I agree with Pat about USPS, and Global Priority being a bargain
    from U.S. to various other countries. 

    (I've been a lurking new subscriber so may have missed something,
    but can't recall input originally requested about shipment from
    Argentina to the U.S.) 

    USPS will not add insurance, tracking or any additional services to
    the Global Priority packs, though, so it seems we are at our own risk
    if we mail this way. 

    I have made multiple shipments to Spain via USPS Global Priority
    with 2-3 day delivery -  the most recent of which was mailed on the
    day of their terrorist attacks, Thursday March 11 to Madrid, yet
    arrived on Monday. 

    That said, with a larger quantity or value of items, Global Express
    can be tracked and insured, although at about 4x the cost for a small
    package. 

    I'm enjoying the variety of topics discussed here, and am looking
    forward to more inspiration and information!
