The USPS option is a lot cheaper, but a lot slower. It is quite reliable.

UPS is expensive, and they may charge you more for Customs clearances. They are a lot quicker.

What are you planning to buy for "west austraila"? There are some distributors in Australia for mostly European gear, plus it can be very good value to get kit from Leon Paul in Britain. Exchange rates can be your friend.

Thanks,

ill go have a look at Leon pauls site, and see if the exchange rates are better from England than America.

and
how long would it take to ship a uniform or a foil from FDN with USPS?
