I should hook Rafa up with some of me mates and their horror stories
plz do :)…well i´ve bought from him already and now he wants to buy something from me. since i think he´s pretty legit since he has worked for a wellknown member already, so i don´t think he´s trying to scam me!

Swede here.
I didn't have any problem with my iron heart order, but i have had some before, i am all for ems.
Home delivery like ups is just a hassle, ems get to my local delivery office, fast, quick and i have never had any problems with ems shipping. -
Maybe bad luck, but all three times I've had UPS shipment in Sweden I've got problems. They seems to have a set of lies to use NOT to deliver to ordinary people like they should. Very frustrating and time consuming!
With EMS I have never had any problems, thou. I would prefer EMS, defenitly! -
I can only agree with the other swedes. The delivery guys from UPS will say they've tried to drop off the package and that nobody answered the door. Even at times where I've been home the entire day with a dog that barks like crazy as soon as somebody sets foot in the garden. I've got friends who've had the same experience with UPS.
I cant recall ever having EMS deliver me anything though, so I cant say anything about them being better, or worse. -
As for Czech Republic and Prague as my location, UPS guys are great. Always call my mobile phone beforehand attempted delivery, willing to solve any and every possible situation, meet elsewhere in town, whatever (one guy is super great, so great, I gave him my homemade marmelades for his kids).
Its quite surprise for me to hear this swedish hassle, everything came to me from Caliroots, SNS via UPS with no problems.
Anyway, EMS is reliable always and everywhere, bonus is Saturday and Sunday delivery in my country.Cheers, Martina

why should he scam me?…i´m the one sending the package right!?
Happens all the time Finn. That's a majority of my job. Stolen credit cards are used all the time to order products and ship them anywhere. Africa is a huge scam.
Yeahh… Feck those scammers!! It effects everyone especially those expats who stays or works here in Africa, me included.... :o But for me who ever willing to accept my business gets my money ::) Thanks G!!
But the reality is scammers are all over.. As long as you do reference check properly it shouldnt be a problem.
Now back to shipping... My experience selling and buying EMS is the best option. The most it takes me 4-7 days max. Cant give verdits on parcel pro ( UK EMS ) as my parcel has yet to arrive.

Is it possible to waive the signature requirement for UPS if we don't mind having the package left @ the door or is that a standard w/ the shipping agreement? If that isn't possible, can we request it be held @ the UPS facility? I'm trying to avoid the likely one day delay that will occur when no one is home to accept the package. Especially if it's on Friday which could turn into a full weekend delay.

We can waive signature, but you need to tell us before we ship (probably best in the comments field when checking out). And we will not accept responsibility for the package not turning up if no signature is requested. We are equally happy to send to alternative addresses for our regulars…..

Of course, the rules are there for a reason. I'm no anarchist. It's just that I live in a pretty quaint neighborhood and my UPS guys is a regular so he just opens up the door and shoves it in there. It's pretty out of the way. I just hate rushing home to get there early and missing him by a half hour then having to wait until the next day to get it sorted out.
