Shipments delivered via Rapid Express Saver will not necessarily be delivered to the addressee personally. The Carrier may deliver a package to the addressee shown on the barcode label or to any other person appearing to have authority to accept delivery of the package on the addressee's behalf (such as persons at the same premises as the addressee or neighbours of the addressee). When shipping to residential address, if the drop off location is in a 'safe' area, then the courier driver will leave the parcel at your doorstep.

CF3299 should be filled out and included with invoices to help with clearance.

Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Usa, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Usa is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

RapidParcel.com is the courier comparison and booking website to help you to send anything to practically anywhere on the planet.
Picture the situation: you've just spent a couple of weeks holidaying in the UK - either it was a special trip to see family friends, or the last leg of a world tour. It's the last day of your holiday and you're busy packing when the dreadful truth begins to dawn - you've simply bought too many souvenirs. It's easily done, of course, a commemorative tea towel here, a local delicacy there, perhaps gifts for the folks back in Honolulu. In years gone by this would have been a full-blown disaster. The suitcase won't shut, you've filled every pocket, your hand luggage is already teetering close to the edge of going overweight and costing you money, and still the room's littered with extra bits and pieces. Once, the only realistic option would have been to have left lots of stuff behind, since shipping to Honolulu would have been both prohibitively expensive and horribly time consuming. Thanks to RapidParcel.com, this is no longer the case - arranging a parcel delivery to Honolulu is now within the grasp of even the most casual tourist.
