I'm looking at sending my documents in the next few days to Seoul. I have no idea what service I should use and what is a reasonable price. My local post office is quoting �50 for 3 day delivery on a 500g package. Thats just an idea of price, I have no idea how much the docs will actually weigh at the moment.
What service did you use and what was the price? I live in a small town so don't have any drop-off points for DHL, Fedex or whatever. Do they come and collect it from you?

I used DHL last year and they were fine. Not sure if you can track with the Post Office so it might be worth laying out a few extra quid and getting it done properly.

Edit
Yeah they will come and collect it. I was staying at my Mum's in a pretty isolated part of Cornwall and they still came out and collected.

DHL can't wait to snatch at yr transcripts envelope and dash it to shreds.
Writing in bold DO NOT OPEN PLEASE makes not an iota of difference to their merry ways.
