Shipping to Bahrain

[denisemcguire]

I have a package that's about 5 pounds total that I need to ship rushed to Bahrain. I was going to use USPS Priority Express (3-5 business days). The customer already paid the rush shipping, but they would like me to look into FedEx. When I put the info into their shipping calculator it comes up really high.

Anyone with experience shipping to Bahrain? What's the best bet?

I've shipped to the UAE on a number of occasions. USPS 1st class international is extremely slow and Priority isn't much better but both do arrive.

If it needs to be rushed then I would go with either USPS Global Express Guaranteed or FedEx.

FedEx will probably cost you about $250 plus brokerage fees

while Global Express will be around $150 including the brokerage fees.

Just remember that USPS Priority Express doesn't have a guaranteed delivery time while GXG does.
