For international shipping (when available) we mainly ship USPS, but we do sometimes offer UPS or Fedex as an alternative method of shipment. Some of our items available for international shipment are too large for USPS so UPS or Fedex must be used. Our shipping calculator will let you know which shipping methods are available for a specific item. Please review this before you purchase. Only certain items are available for international shipment.
UPS/Fedex have higher brokerage/import fees at delivery than those of USPS, but UPS/Fedex offer real-time tracking, a service the USPS does not provide. USPS can take longer to deliver than UPS/Fedex, but the brokerage/import fees are often way less than UPS/Fedex.
Brokerage/customs/duties/taxes/import/etc are all charged at delivery in the buyers country. We have no control over those fees, as they are not charged by our company and we cannot collect those ahead of time.

When purchasing internationally, please consider those fees ahead of time so you are not suprised later at delivery.
