I'll come clean and admit that for once this isn't Ebay or Amazon related, but I know this is where the expertise is.

Husband needs metal name badge (are you sure you've got everything? Ha!) to reach him in Austria asap. I've had a look at Royal Mail's site - is Airsure the way to go? It's worthless but important, if you see what I mean.

Thanks

    Airsure is may well be the best way to go, although if speed is of the essence try http://www.interparcel.com/ who offer next day services, but obviously cost much more.

    Depends exactly how urgent it is. If 2-3 days is ok, then Airsure is a good service. If it needs to be next day then it's going to be rather expensive, but you can check things like Fedex, Interparcel, Amtrak and the like.

    Thank you both (thanks button messing about again)

    My PO insist that Airsure is no faster than basic airmail - all you're paying for is a trackable service. They say airmail will take 3 days. I think they're wrong, but as I think he can manage without it (although maybe in the naughty corner) I've paid £1 something to send it by basic airmail.
