FEDERAL EXPRESS vs DHL in Costa Rica. Which Overnight Delivery service to the U.S. is better and cheaper in Costa Rica?

 

NEED SOMETHING OVERNIGHTED TO THE U.S. from Costa Rica??

For a few years I'd been using DHL as they appeared to be cheaper - 

BUT - when I called to get a price from them and Federal Express on January 7, 2014 - there was a WORLD of DIFFERENCE - on a COUPLE levels. 

SO WHO QUOTED THE CHEAPEST PRICES FROM COSTA RICA TO THE U.S.?

HANDS DOWN -
FEDERAL EXPRESSFed Ex quoted me "just" $50
DHL quoted me $79 (YUP - $79 fricken $s [vs Fed Ex's $50] to send just 1 page!!!)

WHO DELIVERS YOUR COSTA RICA DOCUMENTS TO THE U.S. FASTEST?

If you get your document to them BEFORE NOON - Fed Ex said it would get there OVERNIGHT - in ONE day if I got it  (though they failed to tell me the noon part when I called in for the quote - but then again - I hadn't asked!!  I just ASSUMED that it was like in the states - it went out once a day after 5ish or so - oh well!!).
 
DHL quoted me 2 DAYS delivery time!!!
(what happened DHL??  In the old days, you seemed to have the monopoly in Costa Rica!)

So who gets MY VOTE????
Needless to say, I went with my regular old time FAV 

FED EX!!!!

Fed Ex has 2 locations in Costa Rica

The MAIN one is in "Heredia" - about a kilometer East of the Cariari Mall

and
San Jose - ON Paseo Colon - about 80 meters East of Sabana Park - on your right (WARNING - parking SUCKS there!!!  There's really only room for 1 car to park - vs the 4 spots that are there but blocked by a tree).
