Hey every one just a quick note Royal mail has a back log of a months worth of mail.

My uni sent my Transcripts through on the 20th of july they still havent left the UK LOL. What a pile of shite.

Words of advice never use the regular post. Always use DHL or FEd Ex etc...

DHL (or maybe FedEx) tried to charge me $140 for an international A4 envelope - 3 days. Royal mail did it for $25, 5 days.

yes not bad, well if you have all the tracking numbers then great. My Uni only sends out mail via Air Mail. Its been alright in the past but the Royal Mail had a strike. Didnt think to tell anyone. I have been Screaming at my Uni about it. God bless Fed Ex, they picked it up today lunch time it will be in Seoul on Monday. If you plan ahead then it anit so bad but in a rush Fed Ex rules the Roost. 47 quid but peace of mind is a great thing.

Another point to remember.

After a wonderfully enlighting call with Royal Mail telling me my mail is stuck. They decided to mention that if your letter is marked South Korea it will be returned by Korean officals!

It has to have The Republic of Korea written on it.

So F*****n mad and anal. Mind you after living there for a year i aint surprised one bit.

Perhaps we should return all mail from Korea with England or Scotland on it. W**K**S.
