Hello!
I've researched a number of local courier companies, but would like to hear the opinions/experiences of others who have sent gifts (or even small-quantity goods) overseas. Which courier company (Aramex/FedEx etc.) would you say you had the best experience with?

Hi everybody,
Given the prohibitively expensive international shipping rates for some products I thought it would be nice to start a buyers club where people could meet and share the fixed cost of shipping by ordering in bulk. What do you think would be the simplest yet effective way of going...
