About Expedited Shipping
You can get expedited shipping by sending your documents through FedEx. The FedEx ShipManager demonstrates how to fill out your airbill online. This is the best way to ensure your packages get to your destination quickly.
FedEx has a scheduled pick-up at our office each weekday. If your document includes a pre-paid airbill (not shipping labels with hand written account numbers) for return, as a courtesy we can hand it to the FedEx courier. Hand written airbills will not be processed in our office. We will mail documents back by regular mail if a hand written airbill is included.
Shipping Internationally
Use expedited shipping to ensure your documents arrive to your international destination timely. If a prepaid airbill (not shipping labels with hand written account numbers) from FedEx, UPS or DHL is not provided, the documents will be sent via regular mail. Receipt of your documents may be at risk due to the reliability of the destination country's postal system. International customers may want to consider alternative mailing arrangements if FedEx, UPS or DHL are not available.
