Default sending visa application

Hello,

Well I am nearly at the end of filling out our visa application form and hope to send it off by the end of the week. My question is... who is the best people to send it with to ensure it arrives safely?

We send our skills assessment off with parcelforce and were not impressed with their service at all (it took 2 weeks for our documents to get to Oz and then they were lost somewhere between Sydney and Adelaide).

Any help and advice greatfully appreciated (as always)

Thank you , Karen

We sent our visa application off on Friday with interparcel (sub contracted out to UPS), and we have tracked it all the way - delivered at 0900 today. Couldn't fault the couriers, and well worth the £32 or so that it cost.

Hi Karen, we sent ours off on Friday using Fast Lane International Couriers (although they actually use DHL) tracking all the way via DHL website. Arrived this morning. Bargain at £22...cheap as (very expensive) chips

yep, have to agree that Interparcel are very good, and you get a 5% discount for subsequent deliveries

Going by many previous threads:

Courier : will be delivered
Royal Mail : could easily get lost
