Folks - To simplify UPS International Shipping. Refer to UPS Form "Declaration of Contents and Shipper's Letter of Instruction" Its a 5 page (Carbon copy) document, that you fill out (Takes me an average of 3 minutes), tear off the yellow copy and keep for records, and stick the rest in a clear envelope. Print out the label and hand it to the driver / clerk. Its all the information they need and it never comes back rejected (Unless I accidentally left the Haz Mat sticker uncovered - whoops) I thought it was a HUGE hassle at first, but I realized how simple it really is. Seriously - its a LOT easier than a lot of folks realize.
Just my 2 bits. :-) John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.

Where I work we do retail UPS shipping for customers. We finally just gave up trying to ship internationally. Every time we tried to send one out, the driver would reject it or else it would come back the next day, rejected down the line. The explaination was always that we had omitted the correct form(s) and/or included the wrong ones. This is after working with UPS directly on the phone to verify what was needed. That issue, combined with the high fees (> $125 for a medium to large box) discouraged customers anyway. On the other hand, USPS International Priority Mail is a breeze; only one short form to include with the regular shipping labels. And the price is good too. 73 Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: La Rue Communications If you're an account holder with UPS, International Shipping is not a chore - just filling in one carbon piece of paperwork, and stick it in the clear envelope. Viola!
