Customers have two main shipping options to choose from – courier and postal delivery. Postal delivery is made using the service of the posts via their Priority mail service. Courier delivery is made using various shipping companies – DPD, DHL, EMS, TNT and others, depending on the location of the customer and the current rates of the courier companies.
