Q. Do you ship by couriers like FedEx, UPS, DHL?
Yes, but we do not recommend shipment by courier as it greatly increases the likelihood of problems with customs and often takes longer for delivery than airmail packages.  The customer must provide his FedEx, UPS, or DHL account number for shipment.  
Bear in mind that international courier shipments are very expensive and if the package is rejected by customs, the return cost can be up to 3 times the outward-bound cost.
