Urban Fedex
Buying From UK, Urban FreeFlow?

i want to buy some clothes from urban freeflow, i live in Canada and i think Urban Free Flow building is in UK. they use Royal Mail's 'signed for' service to ship there stuff. what postal service would they switch to get my clothes to my front door. ex. FEDEX, UPS?
Thanks in Advance

I'm a Royal Mail postman, so I can help.
For a while, I actually used to work in the section of Royal Mail that processes international mail arriving and leaving the UK, so I know about how Royal Mail's International operations work.

Fedex and UPS aren't technically postal services, they are actually courier services, and there are lots of crucial differences between the two.

Royal Mail is the UK's national postal service, and therefore, under the terms of the Universal Postal Union, they will use their Canadian equivalent.

Your item will be delivered by Canada Post, and it will be treated in the same way as your mail. "Signed For" means that the item is "Registered" and a signature or other confirmation of delivery is required by Royal Mail.

Regarding Customs Duty and charges, whether the item is coming by UPS, FedEx or Canada Post is irrelevant. ALL international items will be screened by the Canadian Customs authorities, so if there is anything you'll have to pay, you'll still have to pay, regardless of the shipping firm.
There should be no extra charge from Royal Mail or Canada Post, although I expect that Canada Post will process any Customs charges on your behalf and pass the cost onto you.

Enjoy!
