Question

A friend needs to send some documents by courier from Scotland back home to South Africa.

Can anyone recommed someone?

We've looked at DHL and they're aound £40 at the moment. It's only an A4 document.

1st half kilo is always expensive...

Try Fedex - I just love tracking things around the world on their website

Thanks Puff.

FedEx are around £37 up to the half-kilo.

The Royal Mail offer an air mail service. Would you rely on that?

My gut instinct tells me no.

I did offer to personally hand-deliver it for him, but he's having none of it

I've pointed him in the right direction, so if he's in a rush Fedex look the best option.

Cheers,
Stefan

Fedex is probably a good choice.

We always use DHL though. But they've not been that impressive over the past few months.
