Hi all,
I have come across so many forums where people complain about usps services taking too much time to deliver visa documents to India. However, people generally do not post their positive experience so I decided I would post mine for the benefit of others. I mailed my set of documents from Collierville, TN (near Memphis) on February 26, 2014 at 5:09 pm using USPS Priority Mail Express International which cost me $46.50. The destination was Trivandrum, Kerala, India. I was assured delivery in 3-5 business days with tracking. A similar service in FedEx was costing me ~$120 and UPS quoted me ~$110. The document reached India in 4 working days today (Mar 4, 2014) which was just as assured. The tracking was also pretty neat.
On the USPS tracking website it showed regular updates till it got the customs clearance in India (Nothing after that) ... See attachment1.
All further updates where available in the India Speed Post tracking website - http://services.ptcmysore.gov.in/speednettracking/ (use the same tracking number from USPS as the item number). See attachment2. Hope this helps.
Kindly note that it is always best to plan ahead for any unavoidable delays and give sufficient time for your package to reach the destination.

Good reason to avoid UPS, it seems.
