i'm sending my belongings home via PO, i don't have much & its the cheapest method.
i wondered is it risky posting my laptop back tucked securely in one of my boxes?
its not worth a lot, and i don't really want it to accompany me around SE asia.
anyone any experience? |

Use DHL or UPS or one of those. |

Old, cheap laptop - stick it in a box, itemize it on the invoice (list of contents) and put a value on it.
It should be just fine - especially if you send it EMS rather than ground. Trackable, tracable and signature required.
Air parcel will also do the same, for a little less money but MAY take a bit longer.

im sending it the cheapest way - i think thats by ship. its going to take 3 months. i'm not that inclined to mention it on the invoice as the great british postal service has let me down frequently in the past. |
