Rush/Priority A4 letter delivery to Brazil from Toronto by dan001
I'm sending important documents to Belo Horizonte Brazil from Toronto, Canada. Canada Post has said they offer a priority shipment to brazil that will take 2 to 3 days (delivered to recipient). Does anyone have experience with this? ...
Thanks James. I figured that with Canada Post as well, so I skipped them. I ended up going with DHL as they were a much closer walk for me than to go to FedEx. They guaranteed 3 day delivery. Read More
