I recently found that DHL, FedEx and UPS no longer offer express delivery services between the US and some Eastern European countries (or perhaps the whole EU) besides highly expensive next day air delivery.
Kind of sad for me, since I used to buy a lot of stuff on various American websites, notably eBay of course, and ship it within a week with DHL or Fedex for a reasonable price.
USPS/national post services are alright, but not the best. They take more time and lose packages more often.
DHL still has express shipping from China. I wonder if this is directly related to the shift in production. Everything comes from China/Asia these days, there's nothing I can't get there, there's no reason to buy from the US anymore.
What countries? I recently ordered some motorcycle accessories from Perun Moto in Serbia (really nicely made stuff, btw) and they shipped DHL Express which was reasonable (about $50) and rather fast.
