Sending mail to Europe

Hi all

I need to send some mail (just documents, not heavy or bulky) to the U.K. It seems Fedex want US$60 to send them, which seems outrageous. On the other hand, I do need them to arrive (!!), although not particularly bothered about speed.

Does anyone have any experiences or tips?

Thanks very much for your help!

servientrega Thanks for the tip kat1.

Why do you say only if the document is not that important?

Whereabouts in the UK do you live? What do you do there?

My family in Armenia have just sent us a small magazine from Armenia on 3rd Feb and it arrived today 14th. This was with normal international Adpostal post which you can get at any Adpostal or Avianca post office. It cost them COL$22,000.

We were really surprised as it usually takes ages, also all the post that we get from Colombia is always opened in Colombia, searched and then re-sealed but nothing has ever gone missing.
