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:

When you need to book a package delivery to Memphis and want a service that combines convenience and reliability with speed, then the RapidParcel.com courier comparison website is the place to start looking. Many couriers make vague assurances of deliveries being made within 'two to three working days' but at RapidParcel.com we do better than that. That's why we provide next-day delivery for shipping to Memphis or indeed any major city in North America or mainland Europe.
In the world of shipping, the city of Memphis, Tennessee, is just about as big as it gets. Its location, on the banks of the Mississippi and the junction of two interstate highways and a number of freight railways, means that it is a major international centre for shipping and transportation, to such a degree that Memphis International Airport is the busiest cargo airport in the world. Memphis is also home to three Fortune 500 companies in the shape of AutoZone Incorporated, International Paper and the FedEx Corporation, and, away from the world of business, tourists are attracted to Memphis by the role the city has played in the history of music, with many visiting Elvis Presley's Graceland, and Sun Studio recording studios, often seen as the birthplace of rock and roll.
There are many possible reasons why your Memphis parcel delivery might be urgent in nature - perhaps you're running a business with an office in the city and they need copies of invoices packing into a Memphis package delivery. It could be that an important component requires shipping to Memphis for a prospective customer in order to close a deal, or it could be that a member of your family is working in the city and you want to send a parcel delivery to Memphis with a birthday gift to definitely arrive in time for the big day itself. Whatever the reason, our next-day delivery will provide the reassurance you require that your Memphis shipping will arrive exactly when you need it to.
The same commitment to our customers runs through everything we do at RapidParcel.com. Our website is designed with your ease of use in mind, with the couriers and deals easy to compare and the booking process reduced to six simple steps. As if this wasn't enough, we also make it possible to book via a mobile-optimised website (Mobisite), which means you no longer even have to be at your desk to arrange a Memphis parcel delivery, and, once whatever you're shipping to Memphis is on its way, you can follow its progress via our website, as it's logged in and out of every depot between here and its destination. These same high standards apply to all deliveries to North America, so a parcel delivery to Charlotte or a Columbus package delivery to name but two others will also receive next-day delivery.
