View Full Version : Parcelforce - sending papers to my wife for her visa

I'm sending the last batch of paperwork to my wife for her visa.

I made enquiries at the Post Office and they offer a 2-day delivery postal service to Philippines with Parcelforce.

It will cost just under 70 GBP, and it's fully trackable online as you would expect.

The main attraction to this service is that it's so quick at just 2 days ....

Has anyone ever used this service?

Here's the link: http://www.parcelforce.com/international-parcel-delivery/global-express

The documents I'm sending are naturally very important, and I have been 'collecting' them over the past 12 months.

Thank you, and enjoy the sunshine today.

Eddiek, to be honest, you cannot beat DHL

They will pick up from your door and deliver to your door, and I'm pretty sure the price is comparable with Parcelforce. However, I guess you want to try an alternative. Let us know how the service is.

I'm using DHL.

Sent stuff to the Philippines twice and it arrived in two days.

I'd be a bit dubious about a 2-day claim.

I've always used DHL and like many here have never had a problem.

I used DHL, think it took three days, and half the price of Parcelforce.

Eddie, I would use DHL or UPS. Somehow I'd have no faith in Parcelforce once past Dover :xxgrinning--00xx3:

By coincidence I've just had a courier satchel of samples from China delivered here by DHL. They left there on Friday....
