International shipping: International Express/International Economy?

[blind12]

In the past I would have several shipping options from different companies when checking out. Now I only see 2 options: International Express/International Economy. What company is it ?

Because if it's Fedex, then their customs processing here in this country is either very complicated (if you do it yourself) or *very* expensive. Either way there's a lot of hassle and expense before I receive the goods.

With USPS things arrive via regular post service here and their customs processing fees are *several times* lower.

Oh and the shipping cost at checkout is much higher than before, so I assume it's not USPS. I don't think I will ever order anything via Fedex shipping, it's that bad.

Where are you from?

[blind12]

Estonia

[SynergyIre]

Exact same in Ireland, Fedex shafts you!

[MasterMind]

Fedex. Same for NZ now apparently

Seriously, for one bottle of pills to ship to Ottawa Ontario it's $60... that HAS to be a joke. Looks like I'll have to go back to BN or BB.com

In Estonia I get to pay another $50-$60 for customs procedures (plus of course the taxes) so there is no way I will order anything via Fedex.

Could you PM your address to me, I looked into shipping rates for a couple addresses in Ontario, and I was able to ship a single pill bottle for ~$17 to most addresses. If your getting quoted $60 for one bottle it sounds like either the system is not recognizing your address, or there is a bug somewhere.

yes i need to know this as well! I usually place orders on nutraplanet but only if i can ship with USPS! What are International Express and International Economy? Please don't tell me you have lost the USPS option off the nutraplanet website i wont be able to order from there any more!

Nvm: $18.29 for a bottle of Orange Triad.

Don't have enough posts to pm yet, hah
Just try anywhere in Ottawa Ontario, Canada

The following was the prices I was quoted for the couple addresses I tried...

One NutraPlanet Whey Protein was $31.43 to ship.
Five NutraPlanet Whey Proten's for $59.92 to ship.
One bottle of Orange Triad was $18.29 to ship.

If you are getting wildly different rates than above for an address in Ontario check to make sure your address information was filled in correctly as sometimes information is placed in the wrong field (city in zip code, zip code in city, etc).

I've used you guys before and shipping was around what you said, but to the same address now is still $60 for one bottle of pills.

All Aussie's be very careful.I placed an order and asked for it not to be shipped Fedex and they have done so anyway.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH NP!

bump for this one..

I too would like to know the difference between international economy and express


EDIT

btw, i just received a package from nutraplanet today. they didnt charge me with brokerage fees. i was curious as to why? in the past, i was always charged with that fee which turned me off from order off of nutra. not saying its a bad thing...just curious if this was not a coincidence. if not, i will be ordering 99% of the time from nutra

im in CANADA btw

I know we've been working on an arrangement to handle the brokerage fee beforehand, perhaps that's what's finally come to fruition although not 100% sure.

Basically "International Express/International Economy" means nothing when it comes to carrier choice. What is happening on the back end is NutraPlanet is choosing the cheapest method for you based on your chosen time-frame. It could be USPS or FedEx, and in the future even possibly DHL and UPS.

To help you out though I have added another option on the shipping method page during checkout..... on the right side below where you can change your address you will now see a link called "USPS Rates Only" if you click on it your shipping rates will be refreshed and will be guaranteed to be USPS rates.

If you choose this option there is a very good chance your shipping costs will go up though (either prices stay the same because USPS was already selected, or USPS was more expensive).
