Global Express
Global Express is supposed to be a third party shipping company, based in Madrid, and possibly Romania. Anyone ever heard of it, or is it a fake company? I've also seen it as Global Express Service Ltd.
I emailed them for info. They say that they do not have anything set up in the USA yet, but plan to. I cannot get any validation on their existence.

Scammers often set up fake courier services to trick people their goods have been sent. Do they have a website? A name really is not much to go on to find out if they exist or not.

No company based in Madrid calls themselves "Ltd." - a company that has this suffix is registered in the UK at Companies House - you can do a web check on company names registered with them here (only during the week between certain times - please check their website for details). |

I think it is probably a fraud.
Googling for Global Express Service finds many courier companies (DHL, USPS, etc) offering a global express service, but no company by that name.
NO modern international courier company would be without a website.
Both Madrid and Romania are well-known haunts of scammers.
What is the context? Who has asked you to use this company? How much do you trust them?

Another website exists at "worldglobalexpress.com", this is a completely different site and is not at all related to the fake escrow site mentioned in these posts /Fraudwatchers

The name of the company requesting Global Express is Best Electronics. On attempting to access their website, I get error message. |

Yep, www.world-global-express.com is a completely fake escrow site. These are fairly common and not very difficult to recognise if you know what to look for. This is not a real company as you suspected, it's just a website most likely set up by the same scammer who runs "Best Electronics".
