Fastest way to get letter to Amsterdam, esp with RM strikes?

Savvy_Sue

Forgive me not trawling the board for long if this has already been answered in an obvious place, but ... 

I have to get a letter to Amsterdam ASAP (there's a SIM in it, is all). 

I'm not saying money is no object, but I'm prepared to pay more than RM would charge. 

Where would anyone recommend? DHL, or elsewhere?

In case anyone else wants the answer to this question, in the end we went for RM Tracked but not signed at the far end, at the recipient's request. Should be there in 3-5 days, I'll let you know ... just hoping it leaves the country before the next strike hits.

I would have said that if you wanted it there double quick to have used DHL or Fedex - but that would have been considerably more expensive than RM.

Ah, but you didn't say fast enough! 

If I'd been doing it, I would almost certainly have gone for 'anyone else', but DH spoke to DS and they agreed they'd risk the RM option. 

And now for the good news, it arrived on Friday! I was able to track it after it left RM, and the Dutch site said it had been delivered, and indeed it had been (not that DS thought we needed to know ...)
