We have finally completed all the paperwork for the TRA We just need to have some more paperwork stamped and signed by our solicitor and we should be ready to post it all off next week

Can anyne recommend a good courier to send the paperwork off to our agent in OZ?

Ive read some posts on here and most people seem to have used DHL but have used them by booking them through interlink as it works out cheaper then dealing with DML direct

How do you go about contacting them, does anyone know there contact address or phone number etc?

we used www.interparcel.com and selected their DHL service. They were great. I know there is anothe similar site that is a few pounds cheaper but I can't remember their name

Hi
We just sent our TRA app on thurs through Interparcel (they use DHL) and have been tracking it online all w/end. The service has been great so far and really easy. Go to www.interparcel.com. Cost us £20. There have been loads of happy customers just do a search on this forum and they are well recommended. Hope that helps!

Yup that's who I used, both for TRA and the Visa - no complaints from me

......and my darling TRAvis has just arrived in Sydney using DHL via interparcel - cost £25 and been tracking him since he left Friday

Thanks for all your replies and for recommending DHL, Im going to use them since you have given them the thumbs up just hope they dont "drop, hide & loose my parcel"
Do you have to weight the parcel yourself to work out the price?

I weighed mine on my kitchen scales

Oh and don't seal it until DHL arrive, when I sent my TRA I'd got it all packaged nicely then the courier said he had to open it and check the contents so I had to undo it all and ruin my perfectly packaged parcel!

When I did my visa I left it open and when he came he said there was no need to and to just seal it

i weighed mine on the kitchen scales too - and sealed it all well with sellotape. The very nice man from DHL just asked exactly what was in it to confirm just paper work - apparantly their have been some parcels held up at customs lately cos its not clear what is in the package on the label - so make sure you write clearly that it just paperwork.
TRAvis has now apparantly passed through customs at Sydney so should be delivered to the agents in the morning im soooooo excited

Uuuh Patsy

Most definitely. Although no compensation for the clumps of hair missing from my head

Clippy

Lol, well glad you got your money back anyway

just to say we used interparcel for tra and main application and all got their fine and well. But go through interparcel as going through dhl direct is more expensive for some reason.....

Has anyone used royal mail airsure.
This seems to be an adequate service on paper and much cheaper than the couriers.
Thanks Nail
