Most reliable shipping from US to England?

[65MK1S]

Need to ship some hydro units from US to England, any
preference from you English folks on which service is the
most reliable? Sorry if this the wrong forum to ask, but
google isn't much help.
Thanks

Hello

UPS, DHL, or Fedex? I have had the most issues with delivery with FEDEX. Best or no issues have been UPS, but they are also usually the most expensive from my area the midwest/central states.

I highly advise to ship with a tracking number.

Good luck!

DHL or UPS, but make sure to use the correct tariff code else VAT will be charged as import.

Plus, UK borders are starting to shut down again due to new coronavirus variant so courier air shipping might be backlogged.

UPS all day
Hardly ever get delays and never had a missing item so far in a very long time.
Probably due to real time tracking.

I recently sent a hydrolastic displacer with a faulty hose to H&H Services Ltd.In the U.K., from California. They Use DHL there at their shop and I get Mini Spares bits from the U.K., they use DHL as well. It was expensive to send, costing around $200 USD for one displacer, weighing 6lbs. The displacer was nicely refurbished and back the mini, all pumped up, all good..

DHL have frozen ALL shipments out of the UK until Jan 4th.

That’s unfortunate... DHL just beat their own record for fastest UK to USA shipping to me.
Pickup Tuesday 11.25am Bristol UK, delivery Wednesday 12.39pm Cambridge MA, USA.

Checked with DHL yesterday (24/Dec/20) and was told there were no shipping restrictions to the US out the UK. Probably best to check first.
