Best way to ship to China?

Had my first eBay store sale and it's to a gentleman in Shenzhen Guangdong province in China. I was planning to use insured Canada Post Light Packet International, but with the postal strike I'll have to use a courrier service like DHL or FedEx. Wanted to get your thoughts and perhaps some experience shipping there.

    if it is only ONE coin, it might be ok.
    If your clients name is Richard J. he also has a address in Singapore which is better to use.
    Fedex.... if you tell them that coins are inside , they must declare it to the chinese customs.....which can create a problem....
    u can always take a chance on fedex or DHL not declaring it and saying it is documents only.
    one good reason I do not send to china...
    I would wait until Canpost is back and send it registered..
    Today is the first day of the rest of my life

    Thank you, YQQ. He hasn't paid yet, so I might send him a note about shipping via Can Post when the strike is over.
