When sending documents to Ireland to Korea by courier, do you just do it through the post office?

What are the costs like? How long will it take?

Will the christmas period cause havoc getting it there, or with the Epik screening process?

Thanks.

Hey, I take it you mean from Ireland to Korea. If so, regular post office is not what you're looking for. I used DHL. If you go to their website you can see how much it will cost. I can't remember the figure right now. When you ring you will arrange a pick-up place and time. Because it's a courier you don't really have to worry about Christmas post.

If you meant to say "to Ireland from Korea" then I can't help you.

Hope that helps.

If it's from Ireland to Korea, I'm just after sending my documents over last week and they got there already. The price was �55 with DHL.

Hey Fred,

Sent off docs a few months ago. I had been advised not to use DHL and FEDEX proved to be cheaper than UPS when I rang them up.

FEDEX do a door to door service. You give them your address and they arrive with their special envelope at a time frame agreed by both parties. I.e. I will be at my house between 1pm and 4pm on whatever day. You just fill in the form with the man from FEDEX and off it goes. You will get a tracker number and can follow your package online.

It cost me approx �75. Paid in advance by credit card.

Hope thats a help.
