Correo question
 

I have a very important document to send to the UK.

It must arrive by the 24th Sept. Is there a way of getting proof of posting at the post office so that if it does go astray I can show that I've posted it?

Re: Correo question
 

Yes, you can ask for it to have to be signed for at the other end ('con firma').

Re: Correo question
 

You ask for it to be sent certificado and you will have written proof.

Re: Correo question
 

Yes - but it may never get to the other end so I need proof that I've posted it!


Thank you paintermujer - that should do it :thumbup:

Re: Correo question
 

I would use a Courier service eg. DHL if it's important. I have used certificado a few times but for some reason seems to be slower than normal post.

Re: Correo question
 

When you ask for this service, you get a document showing what you've paid for.

Re: Correo question
 

mmm - may have to consider this but have no idea how to go about it!

Thanks - I realised that from paintermujer's reply :thumbup:

Ive always found certificado post is usually ok when sent to the Uk but I did send one to the US once which took a whole month to arrive.

a printed matter envelope UK-Granada has just taken 8 days

Re: Correo question
 

So, I need it to get there by the 24th Sept- when is the very latest I can post it ????

Re: Correo question
 

20th on DHL ?

Re: Correo question
 

Anyone tell me how I go about using DHL ?

Re: Correo question
 

If you want proof of the content you sent, the best way is bureaufax. Certificado only ensures the closed envelope is delivered, regardless its content.

It also has telegram's speed.

Thanks for that Juan but fax is no good as I need to send about 100 pages in total including some original copies.

Can anyone answer my question about DHL - should I start a new thread maybe?

Re: Correo question
 

Thanks to Juan I've just discovered these options http://www.correos.es/ENG/01P-Enviar...-Cpostales.asp

I'll go to a main post office on Monday and ask them for the best way to send it :thumbup:

Just saying to OH that I would never have known such services existed here, as our main dealings with Correos is our local village post office which probably hasn't changed for the past 150 years! Items are stored in an ancient wall cupboard with lace curtains and the thick wooden counter is worn down by generations of arms resting on it - we half expect them to send the mail off on the back of a donkey :rofl:
