    Best carrier to ship amp back to Switzerland?

    I received my RMA for my Job INTegrated repair. I think they originally shipped DHL to the customer. Should I ship via DHL back to Switzerland or choose someone else?

    Any thoughts?

    It doesn't really mater IMO. All of them are equally bad. Just pack it well.

    Hey Joe - I'd suggest using DHL in the current environment, since they have their own airplanes they seem to be least affected by various flight reductions. Good luck with the repair! - Bill

    I don’t mind what happens on its way there, it’s the trip back I’m worried about but DHL has always been good. Fingers crossed.

    I've been shipping all over the globe for years. DHL, FedEx and UPS air are all excellent. Make sure to package in the original manufacturer's double box with original inserts - that's the critical part.

    Hi Joe,

    DHL is a good service for overseas. They seem to have a good grasp on shipping to all corners of the world.

    Thank you Mike and Bart,

    I always keep the original boxes. I’ll be packing up today and see if my local DHL office is ready to receive customers.

    Thank you
