In an economy that is dynamic and uncertainty is ever present, one needs to find ways to reduce costs. My book was shipped from the USA to Germany to Ecuador. The important part is my book arrived within the 8 week time frame. RR Donneleys service is cost-oriented by maximizing the shipment output, more cargo for each flight reduces fuel and transportation costs, therefore providing a cost-benefit analysis. Remember people this is not expedited or overnight delivery. I wish RRD an abundance of success. Im glad my geometry book arrived on time in great condition. I give your company 5 stars, people need to keep in mind with drug trafficking, your packages take more time for successful delivery, we live in an unstable society!
