Sending letters abroad

Today i went to ask about sending letters to England, Gibraltar and Chile. She replied with the respective prices 93,000 93,000 and 60,000 just for a letter. Does anyone know if this is anywhere near a normal price? If anyone knows anywhere with a reasonable price I'd love to hear about it. In Chile it used to cost me 1,800 pesos Colombianos to send a letter to England over a much larger distance. Saying that, it also used to cost me 180 PC a minute to ring England, but here it's just cost me 1000 PC a minute.

Cheers

This has been discussed in the past. Plug "adpostal" into the search box at the top right of the page.

"this may seem a strange post but it is not...when in colombia men need to be aware that colombia women may try to be seductive and entice a travelling gringo to have sex with them..to be forewarned is to be forearmed..." -- pow wow

Adpostal, cool thanks. Just trying to find a branch now. Google maps hasn´t mastered the road naming system of Medellín yet.

Because when we had the bulk of our discussions about reliability, delivery time etc, it was called Adpostal and thus he'll find all the threads.

Just googling as I instructed and looking at the first page of summary results would have made the name change obvious. If I wanted him to rush around trying to find the Adpostal branch, I'd have suggested that instead. :o)
