Had my first antminers shipped with DHL. Had to pay for my own import and storage fees. Took about a week at customs because the price they tagged for my antminers were based on the over priced amazon rate and had to have them recomputed for their actual price. It was hard convincing that them that i actually paid for the goods using a virtual currency called "Bitcoin Cash." I showed them tx info as if they understood what it was. Eventually they gave in lol.

FedEx has been pretty good in my experience of ordering from Bitmain, but like the user above said you're still going to pay for duties and handling from any method of shipment Bitmain offers. Some people report not receiving the fees immediately, but they always still come eventually.

Hello,

Bitmain/UPS has charged me shipping to the US ranging from 84 USD to 160 USD for a piece of S8, L3+ or A3.
I have had to pay customs duty and handling fee (under 2.6% tax rate plus UPS brokerage fee) every time of importing.
Do you have better deal with DHL or Fedex in your shipping? Please recommend.
I am thinking buying 20 PSU from bitmain now. Thanks.

Bitmain is going to charge you whatever they're going to charge you for customs, but as far as I'm aware any company is better to deal with than UPS. DHL, Fedex, and USPS are all cheaper.
