Great list.

I'd recommend: DHL, FeDex and TNT.
Their service and quality is quite similar, DHL has my preference.

I wouldn't recommend UPS, they are slighthly cheaper, but anti-social employees, at least, here in the Netherlands.

Superb List

I would recommend UPS (They guarantee the delivery date and are a little cheaper)

I would stay away from DHL for Time Sensative items as they take 2 days to clear their items thru customs (UPS/FEDEX takes 2 hours)
