how long does swiftair royal mail take ?
Cannot find anything on the website, I would like to get all my stuff in before the deadline date I was hoping it would be 3 -4 days.
If you can help I would appreciate it, ??
I am even going to harass my local cop shop to chase the police checks, they said they would on my behalf, persistance and being a pain in the ass, I don't mind I put a large note on the front saying they had to be the the Ozzy Government by the xxxxxx.
So I say get a move on [;-). The deadline for this year is the 30.06.03 our stuff is all due in just 10 days before hope to get it in earlier.

Royal mail airmail generally takes less than 5 days we have found.
How long have you been waiting for your police checks at the mo? Ive been waiting 3 weeks and counting

Pete,
Your going to Laugh we only put them in on Monday.... stop laughing now, but here in Scotland they said they would chase them as I said I was desperate for them. Nice people they are.
Just thinking of the 5 days mmmm would like it sooner than that if possible.
Thanks Pete

I've just posted my skills assessment using swiftair - told me it would be 3-5 days as opposed to the 10 days air mail.
Hope this helps.

Last lot of stuff I sent on a thurs with Swift air and arrived on the monday.
Sent some more yesterday will let you know when it arrived.
Our deadline is the 19th June but I am worried the police check will not come through in time. We applied on the 13th May 40 days is 21st June.
I also would like to get it in before the end of june but I have already asked for an extension on the police checks just in case.
Fingers crossed the police check will come through quickly but not holding my breathe

I wouldn't worry too much about going over the date given. Our stuff was due there by the 13th of May but we still don't have the police checks 33 days and counting! I am thinking of chasing them up as we go away at the end of the month and I really need to get them to Adelaide before then.
Good luck at this rate yours will probably arrive before mine!!

I have sent stuff Swiftair to Aus before, and it has taken about 5 days generally, though other times it has taken up to 10 days.
If you're really desperate to get it there in under 5 days, the only guaranteed way is to courier it with one of the major firms. That way you can also track the progress....
