It's a subject that barely gets talked about unless someone is caught stealing. I've only ever known one person get caught stealing in my 21 years at Post and he was a dead set Kleptomaniac and...

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

Probably a good time to add that if sending vital documents use the Royal Mail service "Parcel Force globalpriority" from the UK. Which equates the same to a courier service..... saves a lot of...

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

Re: How long for UK to Aus mail?

Bugger that, I started at Post as a driver, with the end result of an aversion to city driving. Hence my love affair with public transport.

A walking round would be good though.
