Hi, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, i did look.
My bro has been posted to falklands and it is his birthday (the big 30) soon. I have his address, but does anyone know how long posta takes?? How much it costs and is there a weight limit (he wants shower gels etc- not for his birthday!)

Any help would be appreciated xx

Hi,

Postage to the BFPO address is the same as posting an item within the UK, but more information can be found here -->

I am unsure on times, but it could be a week or so.

Regards,

Likely to be longer at the moment with no military flights!

Keep the parcel to a maximum of 2kg in weight. Anything over that has a possibility of being put on a ship (6 weeks). 2kg and under should go onto an aircraft. Normal delivery takes approx 1 week.

If you're sending shower gels etc. It's a good idea to tape the lids shut just in case they leak
