International: Cheapest courier service + Finger prints question

Sorry, I'm really not sure which section of the board my question belongs in so here it goes:

I need to send some documents to Pretoria via a courier and pay for them to be returned the same way.

Door to door and back again does anyone know who may be the cheapest? All the paperwork will fit into an A4 envelope and not weigh a hell of a lot.

Also I need to get finger prints. Does anyone know if I just ask for them to be done at the police station?

Thanks. Hope you can help.

In a loving mother's care.

    Not sure about any police station, you could try calling?

    If you're in London you can take yourself off to Scotland Yard, if it's for anything listed.

    I have used interparcel & DHL, both without problem (neither recently though~). I think there is an article on this site about cheapest courier services.

    I have tried calling our main police station but the phone remains unanswered. Perhaps the office staff are enjoying the weather...:rolleyes:
