 |
|
Hi, iv had a quick look through the boards and have not been able to find any information on good couriers to use (a search function on this forum would be so useful!). So, im in the UK, ready to send my visa documents to Seoul, which couriers have you/would you use? Being cheap is more important than being quick to me 
Thanks in advance. Chris. |

| Hi mate I used DHL which cost �52 to send all my docs to Seoul and it took around 48 hours. Very impressed with the service. I have heard you can use International Signed For at the post office but the service from DHL is worth the extra cash. |

Royal Mail aren't exactly the most reliable for sending such important documents. And it can take up to 5 - 7 days. Best sending it via a courier company.
OP, use either Fed-Ex or DHL. I used DPD through a friend's business account so I got it fairly cheap. |

I have to agree with discostu333, DHL is the only viable option especially when you consider the cost of replacing all those documents. You can book a collection online and they'll come straight to your door.
Do not use the Royal Mail under any reason, International Sign For is not fully tracked and Korean is not one of the countries in their tracked service: Airsure. |

| Also used DHL from the UK, but Fed-Ex is probably just as good. Neither is cheap, however... |

I contacted Fed-Ex via the Internet.
They came and collected the documents from my house.
Set me back around �54 I think. Delivered in 2 days.
Pretty impressed and no hassle. |
