Postage
#1
Need some quick advice people. With the limit of service being removed from the WAPOL page and the closing date being so close. I am after some advice on the best service to use to ensure my application is there on time. I will be sending it on Monday 20th but has to be there by midnight on the 29th. Who did you use? RM / Parcelforce etc?
Thanks in advance

I've just been looking at the same thing! Have seen from other posts on here that TNT guarantee 3 day delivery from collection, with tracking. Other posts suggest it cost about £35 with them, others up to £60.

Royal Mail aim to get it there within 4 days (I think) but don't guarantee it. Think it costs about £11/£12.

I would NEVER use Royal Mail for something so important and time critical. Pay the extra money and use one of the International Couriers like FedEx or DHL.

Got to agree with Tim. Something so important cannot be left to chance with Royal Mail. Pay the extra and know that it won't get lost, or arrive too late.

Hi, I am doing mine today and hoping to get pdr forms from work ASAP. Does anyone know if first aid certificate can be sent later? Also is the bleep test the first stage after application?
Thanks

It does say on the form that you have 90 days to provide the first aid certificate, Section 16, point 8.

First stage after application appears to be the police test. Tells you all the dates and how the application process is set on their website.
