shipping to Hong Kong

deal_hunter_4

Im looking to send a small but quite expensive packge to Hong Kong and was wondering what would be better to send via Royal Mail or a courier such as DHL or Fedex.

But couriers are significantly more expensive but the plus side being u can track the parcel right to the door whereas with Royal Mail's international signed for i dont think u can!

Also is Hong Kong one of those nightmare destinations to send to with it being China?

Any info / advice appreciated...

you can use parcel force which is available at the post office. that has tracking and guarenteed dates. but im not sure if it'll work out cheaper.

Sounds like an odd thing to do but a company called Sevenseas Worldwide who usually ship boxes abroad for relocations etc. are now offering an express service and they work out cheaper than most other couriers. Not somewhere I would have normally looked but definitely worth getting a quote to check out against the more conventional delivery services. As with most things on the web I have found a little research and a lot of diversity can save you a lot of money.

Be careful using the above recommended couriers without research. Could be genuine but also could be someone from said business promoting themselves, especially given both posts made recommend said company and the other two posts by kalonasum appear to have been deleted.
