Default Royal Mail Or Courier

Hi Gang

I'm going to be sending off my TRA assessment later this week.

Can anybody give me some advise on how to send it.

I'm not sure whether to trust Royal Mail or send it courier ie FedEx, UPS.

Also any ideas on costs.

Thanks

We used DHL for all our documents going to Aussie.........we sent them on a Friday and they got to the destination on the Monday 11am Aussie time

Royal Mail took well over a week

Hiya Graham

Well that might br kinda difficult cos my agent paid for it all, but I am sure he said it was around AU$40.......the first consignment I sent with Royal Mail cost me £9.80

Hope this helps

What makes you think FedEx or UPS aren't "trustworthy"?

Send it Royal Mail Special Deliver.
