using a courier ?

01-12-2007, 12:37 PM

Hello all,
Just a quick question-has anyone used a courier to get their application
out to OZ? After all the stress of filling it in and getting the docs
certified etc,etc ,I dont think I can stand to worry about whether they
are going to arrive or not!
Any recomendations would be great.My doctor used TNT to get our medicals
over and he charged us �?�?�?£50.Dont mind how much it costs really,just
want the peace of mind.
Thank you
Andy

DEFINITELY use a courier. After all the hard work you put into the visa
app, the worst thing you could do is leave it in the hands of Royal
Fail. I used DHL also at a cost of around 50 quid - that seems to be the
going rate.

I am sure you want to use a courier. We sent docs to IEA by registered
mail. It took more than three weeks although it was supposed to arrive
after 5 days and the tracking ended at the airport in home country. Got
note after 5 weeks or so. It is not a good feeling to expect all your
hardly collected docs lost.

Good luck

Hi andy,

We used Fast lane international to send our visa application to Oz.
It cost �?�?�?£22 (in October) and I can't fault them at all. It took 5
days to arrive in Adelaide and you could track it all the way via
their website.

Hope that helps and good luck,

Karen

We used www.interparcel.com and selected the DHL service - cost about
�?�?�?£20 I think or thereabouts. Used them twice now, great both times.
