I know this subject has been covered many time here. However somethings change overnight while others remain the same.
Having documents sent to me from USA. Is the current consensus EMS, FEDEX, DHL or ?
Cost is not really a factor. All about getting the package.

This may or may not be helpful. I have only done this once, and it was with DHL, but from PP to OZ.
One single envelope with my drivers licence renewal cost $56. The guy at the DHL office in PP was very helpful and polite. At the top of the receipt was a message saying that I could track the delivery using the adjacent code. So I did, and it worked.
They said it would take 3 days, but it got there first thing on day 4.
Immediately it got delivered, I received an sms saying that it had been 'delivered and signed' by my intended recipient.

DHL for sure, and the price ex USA will certainly be cheaper than ex KH. 62$ for my mate to send a passport from SHV to NZ, only cost 34$ return.

That's basically overnight/1 business day service. Not sure if my comment is relevant, but anyways that would be beat DHL for price!

I was very surprised it was so fast. Also very grateful and lucky the guy at Aus Post asked for my phone number to put on it, because despite my telling my sister EXACTLY how to address it she had left that detail off. It was my credit card she was sending me. Jesus.
