Hey guys, I'm wondering what the average price is to ship Visa documents to Korea? I've looked into purolator and its something like $100!? Is this right or am I not looking in the right place?

If you're in the US, the US postal service is the least expensive (around $20, I think). UPS is the most expensive (around $40). FedEx is somewhere in between, I think.

Canada post express mail. Same service, 1/2 the price.

FexEx is the most expensive. Around $60. DHL is $50 some. Check the older threads, as some people have had problems with their docs being opened.

It cost me US$60 to send them FEDEX express from Argentina to Korea. There is no way it should cost more than that to send it from N. America!

4-7 days.... same as Purolator.... same service - 1.2 the price.

Before the rest of you jump on me for "LONG" delivery times, remember that with the date line, it takes "33 hours" on the clock just to fly from the west coast to Korea.

In real time...typically 48-96 hours for document service.
