Well, we went three different routes on this one from Dubai - we had 4 different phones coming in from there.

One was sent from there, via FedEx. I have an account for FedEx, so I gave him my account number and it was sent that way. No matter what though, I believe that FedEx only pays like $100 on this kind of stuff unless you state the proper price and pay the extra.

DHL is a no-go. You can't do it. No matter what. They will not ship out electronics from Dubai.

One went to London, was sent from there. That was the fastest route. But it was because that person was on travel to London, so the coincidence was in our favor.

And one is in New York now... like right now. That contact was in Dubai, now is in New York, but got delayed on their trip by a couple of days... but will be sending it via my FedEx account again to me directly.

I know you can drop ship or use air mail, but no tracking number scares the hell out of me.
