hiya we have just returned from jamaica and wish to send some thank you presents to friends out there. cant find many mail order companies out there - can you reccommend any for sending gifts also need to know cheapest companies to ship packages and letters with. many thanks t x ps sorry if this is the wrong section - didnt know where to post
tweeny- I am in US but know that you must find a company w/ extra insurance and door front delivery. I teach many students from Jamaica and they tell me the crime at the docks is awful.
Sorry I can not give specifics, I just know it is very expensive and many packages never arrive.
I agree with EngTeach - I'm a Jamaican living abroad and no longer even try to send presents via mail as nothing ever arrives! Your only bet would be a courier firm such as FedEx, but they are very expensive!
i guessed this would be the case but following the trip we have just had its worth it im more concerned about small postal items not arriving i guess as alot of our friends dont have email
You can send international parcels airsure or international signed for. They will cost 3 or 4 quid more than normal airmail, but they are safer, and offer higher levels of compensation aswell. Just ask at your local Post Office http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?ca tId=19100175&mediaId=19100179
