do it soon, when i send things from the us sometimes its just 10-12 days other times its 2 months, it just deends, also its pretty expensive, i pay about 10 dollars a pund, but it mightbe cheeper from the uk, and be careful what you send, because i had a friend send me body jewlery (belly rings) and some other little trinkets and they were all thaken out and a note was left from the post office that said, you cant send any jewlery,sso look into whats ok and what isnt

Sending packages to Colombia Hola Rob, A few months ago I went through the Google Search This Site postings appearing on PBH that related to the above subject. I condensed them into a single page which now appears in on our non profit website featuring Medellin. Hope it saves you some time. Check out the page at:

Good luck.

Jim

Sending to Bogota Hey Rob...I have sent some dvds to Bogota from London using the Post Office and it took around a month,probably add a week or 2 to that for the xmas period.Granted it was not what I'd call very cheap but the 3 or 4 times I've sent stuff it has always arrived safely just make sure the parcel is well packaged.
