Anyone use a courier here before?

I want a place that speaks English.

In particular, I want to send a fingerprint application to the RCMP in Canada with a prepaid return envelope so they can send my CRC back to my home address in Korea via the same courier.

Korea post, EMS (express mail service).

I would second that recommendation ... I used them in December to send some things home and was very happy with the speed of the delivery.

I used them last week to send something home express. 16,000 won to send a document to Boston. I sent it on a Thursday and it arrived on Monday. The cool thing was that they sent me text messages when the document left Incheon airport, arrived in the States, and finally arrived in Boston.

The thing that most impressed me with them was that I posted the boxes I needed to send on Saturday morning at one of the post offices in Seoul which was open on Saturday morning on two consecutive Saturdays and they were delivered to my fathers house an hour north of Sydney (Australia) at around 8:30am on Monday morning.

Thanks for the replies, but I'm not trusting Korean mail at all right now with all the lost CRC stories.
I want an actual courier service that works completely independantly of Korean mail.

ummm.... EMS is a courier service.

Signed, sealed, on-line trackable and traceable.

If they have your cell phone number you will even get a text message every time it is handed off from one carrier/depot/processing stage to the next.

It won't get any better than that (and they are 1/2 the price of FEDEX).

So then by "Korea post" does that mean I can take my package to a post office and ask for this courier service?

Yes. Just ask for EMS at the counter.
