Default Which Courier

Hi
can any of you wise people advise me on which courier service I should use?The courier the supplier from China uses has quoted me a good price but I am not sure if they can clear customs for me with the necessary paperwork.If I open an account from the U.K. DHL and UPS have said they could clear customs if the paperwork is provided.The only problem is they are working out a lot costlier any of you out there have previous knowledge of using a courier from China?

Ask them to send it express which is a door-to-door service and will be cheaper than arranging it via the UK.

NO. The courier will charge you for the processing and the import charges.

EMS is probably the best if the shipment is coming from China

Stay away from EMS! Use a reputable international courier even if it costs a bit more.
