val douest Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 We shall soon need to send some documents from France so that they reach the UK as quickly as possible, preferably the following day. Has anyone used a service (la Poste or an alternative) that they can recommend?Many thanksVal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessfou Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 la Poste have a good service - "Chronopost" basic cost €37 - next day delivery to London & quite a few other parts, 2 days for the regions and (I think) 2-3 days for Highlands and some odds and ends.If you plan to use it, make sure you know the phone number for recipient as well as sender (both are essential for the documentation).We used it just last week when our younger son had his passport stolen and we had to send him his BC to get a replacement passport to get over here for part of his Easter vacation.

Tony F Dordogne Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Chronopost also works well for me, I use it for urgent documents all the time, almost always next day delivery across EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

val douest Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Many thanks to everyone who responded - it sounds as if Chronopost is the service we need.Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoverfrog Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 yet another vote for Chronopost :)I sent important CDs to Canada (source code for an application) and the Chronopost one was there within a couple of days. The one sent registered La Poste still hasn't arrived...FedEX international is also brilliant - and the delivery guys are like terriers, they don't stop till they've found the intended recipient!I had an international delivery from FedEx 10 days after we moved here - the chap said rather sadly as he handed over the package "you don't know many people round here, do you!"
