Default To courier or not to courier

Another silly question from me.

I am thinking of sending our application by courier rather than registered post through the Royal Mail. I work in London and we have had all sorts of problems with post being delivered to our office. Yesterday a package for another building was just dumped in our lobby by the postman even though it was a registered package and should have gone to another building and been signed for by someone.

I just hate the thought of my husband's passport and medicals being lost and having to go through the hassle and cost of filling out all the forms etc again.

Does the DIMIA accept couriered applications? A really stupid question I know, but I really don't want to anything wrong whatsoever with my husband’s application.

We sent my husbands application using Special delivery via the post office. Got there no problems and you can trace the package on the internet. We also included a pre-paid special delivery envelope for the return and had no problems at all.

Courrier everytime, expensive but worth it. there is a different address for courriered post (not a po box).
We used DHL no probs at all and also tracked on internet.
After all the time and effort don't take any chances.

Took the wife's in person, had to wait about an hour, then was only talking to a guy for about 3mins, but at least I knew they had it and got a receipt as well.

When we submitted the PO strikes were around.
