| 23 | Shipping options |
||
| 24 | ================ |
||
| 25 | DHL, best choice for national shippings; still cheap but very slow at international shippings. |
||
| 26 | FedEx or UPS, much more expensive than DHL, but safer and quicker; depending on the destination one of them might be cheaper than the other |
