Question On Mailing Irs Tax Return

[Silvie]

Has anyone been in a situation in which he/she had to send the tax return package by snail mail to the USA (as opposed to filing electronically) and which is the safest courier service that is recommended to use from Buenos Aires?
I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thank you dennisr.
I was wondering, which courier service seems to work best from Argentina: UPS or Fedex to the USA, in general. Are they both the same?

I used the regular mail service without a problem last year and plan to do the same this year. It cost around 150 pesos to have it tracked,I didn't bother checking it, but did receive State and Federal refunds. http://www.correoargentino.com.ar/

I have always sent docs Fedex and had no problems. My tax returns were always received. Not cheap though.

For ridiculous reasons, the fed gov't mailed me my refund check (despite requesting direct deposit). They sent it regular mail and it never arrived here. I would def recommend getting d deposit if you're getting a refund.

Thank you so much for your feedback!
