Dunno about UPS, haven't heard about them operating in KM, but FedEx is here, I used them a couple weeks ago.
FedEx works through a Chinese company called Tianjin Datian Logistics, you can call their office near the airport at 701 5347 (their receptionist speaks decent English). They can send a FedEx van out to wherever you are and pick up your parcel. You might want to ask them to give you some extra forms and envelopes for future use.
I've received a few packages from TNT too - I think Harbour Plaza offers TNT services, but with an extra service charge added - but I don't have their contact details.
EMS is generally okay, but I've lost some documents sent via EMS before, so I don't really recommend it. Hope that helps.
Hi, thanks for posting on the site. Please put apartment posts in GoKunming's classifieds section - the forum section is for discussions, enquiries, etc. Thank you.
You can get your own room with hotsprings at Dianchi Chuntian, but it's something like 600-800 yuan/night. There are also shared outdoor hot springs for around 85 yuan. The outdoor hot springs are mixed with no nudity, and there is a nice little swimming pool. There is also one pool that is filled with little fish that eat your dead skin off of you. Really. Address and phone number are listed on the Spas page in this site.
Check out www.gokunming.com/en/blog/item.php?blog_id=76 about Al Medina, a Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant across from the airport. Starting next week they'll have an Indian chef who's been working in England. Hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.

Happy ninth birthday Sal, you've made Kunming a better place.
Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.
I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.
My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.
The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.
Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.
Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.
The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.
Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁！
Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.
Book Review: China on the Wild Side, Volume II
发布者@laotou: They're 180 yuan each at Mandarin Books... I think I saw them for 110 yuan at the Beichen Prague, but I may be wrong.
Yunnan census results released
发布者Error corrected, thanks. The English report I cited made a few mistakes in the conversion of Chinese numbering to Western-style numbering, including saying there were 474,000 foreigners living in Yunnan... I mistakenly thought I'd caught them all.
Interview: Sinne Eeg
发布者Great show all around... one of the highlights for me was during the aforementioned sound problems, when Sinne decided to finish the second song (I think) without the microphone and nailed it. Janus, JQ and Martin were all in top form too. JQ mentioned that they might pass through Kunming again in half a year or so, I'm sure they'd pack the house again.
Interview: Eddy Di Natale & Lucio Cascavilla
发布者@Giddyup! - Well spotted, it is indeed The Box's bathroom.
Getting Away: Shuhe
发布者I remember an old guy with a monkey that used to take photos with tourists on one of the stone bridges in Dayan several years back, pretty sure that was someone else but I may be wrong.
