Shipping has become a pain the last couple of years. I have revised my own policies on this:
USA Shipping Policies: TCE ships most packages UPS. We do not offer FedEx, DHL or other services. We will do our best to offer you the best price possible however UPS pricing changes constantly. Some smaller parts may be shipped via the US Postal Service. All packages are insured for the full value of your purchase. Please specify a ship to point where the package can be recieved and not left at your door. Customers with UPS accounts can arrange for third party billing. Customers with accounts with FedEx or others can arrange for pick up.
International Shipping Policies: Shipments to any other country will be UPS ONLY. We will no longer offer USPS to other countries unless the customer makes full arrangements for pick up. Due to a number of problems with the Postal Service we cannot assure customers of package handling or delivery. Often Postal shipments are not trackable. UPS shipments are not cheap, however they are often cleared faster. Customers wishing to devalue the final purchase price must state so in writing for our records. TCE will not be liable for any loss claims for under insured shipments.
