Dave and Joe,
A few months ago I purchased an item from a company in the State of
Washington which was handled by FedEx to London Heathrow. Parcel Force then
handled the package from London to here in Scotland, and I recall having to
pay Parcel Force an amount. Dave, if you would like more specific
information about this please contact me off list. The tracking number
supplied by Fedex was also used by Parcel Force.

Dave,
You should have suggested to Lisa that she use "Global Express
Guaranteed." Assuming the $103 quote represents a 20 pound
(19 kg) package without the insurance, the same package would
have been $155 with GXG. GXG permits insurance to $2499 for a
maximum insurance fee of $18.00
When I last checked, GXG transport was handled by FedEx. I do
not know if FedEx also does the clearance and final delivery or
if the parcel is turned over to the national Postal Authority
in the delivery country but the paperwork leads me to believe
GXG is handled by FedEx from the Postal Routing Center in the
US to its final destination.
