Here at Vyking Ship we offer 3 carriers to ship your packages: DHL, FedEx, and USPS. The first two are private carriers, whereas the United States Postal Service (USPS) is a public carrier.
What is the difference between the two?
A postal service belongs to the government while private carriers don’t. This means that a postal service has a much larger workload than private carriers and hence their procedures vary in many aspects such as; brokerage fee, duration of delivery, and customs clearance.
The right shipping method differs from person to person and country to country. In a country with a corrupt or inefficient Postal Service, or a corrupt Customs Department, it is advisable to avoid shipping through the USPS and stick with one of the private courier. In some instances a courier service is cheaper and faster than a postal service, whereas in others, a postal service may be the cheapest international shipping option for you.
For your ease, we’ve broken down the differences between the two.
USPS is United States’ Postal Service.
DHL and FedEx are Courier Services we use.

The USPS has also suspended most services to New Zealand. Packages sent through USPS or USPS through Asendia to New Zealand can only ship via Express.
USPS service to Australia has also been limited. If you are shipping through USPS or Asendia, you must select Express, First Class, or World Tracked.
Any payments received for shipping options that are not available will be refunded, and the package will be re-entered into your Vyking Ship account.
Please contact us if you have any questions. For a list of USPS service suspensions, please visit their website: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/
