I'm asked to do it via Fedex, how? do I have to be a member? Can I do it from my local post office? I want my docs there asap, the recruiter said Fedex because apparently other couriers check what's inside and I have my sealed transcript which obviously can't be opened, I don't believe couriers would actually check inside, anyway, from the UK how is best?

Thanks

I'm not going to bother with Fedex too much bullshit. How else can I do it, can't I just take it to the post office?

You've never actually sent a letter internationally, but you're planning on living and working internationally? There's more to this story. What's the deal?

I've sent letters to Korea before but with no concerns about delivery time, these were just normal snail mail letters but this time I want it there asap and with confidence that my precious pieces of paper don't disappear somewhere. Why the suspicion?? Confused
Plus I want to send them off this week, then my work here is done.

Use the post office. They offer a Parcelforce service that you can track all the way and will get there in 4 days. No problems with your transcripts being opened. At around 50 nuggets, though, it's a costly exercise.

Go in anyway because they have a number of services they can offer and the fedex site is a nightmare to just get a quote.

Plus, if you're lucky, the cashier won't read you the terms and conditions of the Parcelforce service then you can go back in and be refunded the difference of that price and the cheapest service.
