| 1421553 | 2016-06-06 21:45:00 | Hello members I have to express airmail a few documents for a UNI entry to Europe. Has someone a good reliable suggestion? Just reading at the NZ post and it says: "International Express Courier has a one to five working day delivery target", which is slow, or isn't it? This for $ 62.-!!! Thanks |

Also Physical delivery to the other side of the planet in less than a week doesn't seem slow to me, it takes 1-2 days just to send mail around the country which has to happen at both ends of the flight. Try ordering something from E-bay with free delivery from Hong Kong sometime, that's slow mail (a month or more). |

One said (as in the post I posted here, a while ago) 11 days later (after paying for it), according to the Malaysia post site, but never arrived here. But I did get a refund for both of them. But yup I would scan whatever and send it using email instead. |

| 1421557 | 2016-06-07 06:42:00 | I use Fedex or DHL for exportation documents. Fedex faster to US, DHL faster to Asia (in our observation). For Europe, either one. Asia be the quickest route but they probably work out getting there roughly the same. 1 to 5 days is not bad, we allow ourselves a week to ensure on time delivery. Documents can go missing, for us maybe 1 out of every 100 but we send out large volumes weekly. Sometimes due to weird international addresses that these countries have that we can't get to work through the web interface. If you want to give NZ Post a try, it would probably be a lot easier for you. Cost varies, usually if companies want our business they give us a lower rate. |

| 1421558 | 2016-06-08 06:52:00 | How fast do you want it? NZ Post via DHL isn't the fastest. One time I had to courier some govt ID card for parents when they were overseas. FEDEX or UPS does it within 24hr if you are in Auckland or 48hr if you are outside of Auckland. UPS I used was around $99 from recollection, FEDEX was around $130 or something. This was an A5/6 sized cardboard envelope. Destination Hong Kong. Probably about 3 or so years ago. With Intl Priority NZ Post in my experience they are more like 3 days outside of AKL. |

| 1421559 | 2016-06-08 07:26:00 | Sorry guys/ladies for my slow reply. Many thanks for all your replies. The docs are nzqa-ncea exam papers and the uni on the other side of the globe wants original nzqa papers. It looks like I need to try NZ Post, and then ask what the best option is. Rural town is not the fastest starting block! By the way, it is faster sending to Auckland than 150 k's away. The mail goes from the NW of the SI to CHch and then to the destination even if it is not that far away, that is how I understand it. The long distances seem to be much better thought through. |

| 1421560 | 2016-06-09 01:20:00 | Can't they/you refer them to get the results and exam papers from the relevant Govt department here? should be authoritative and trustworthy enough...Or consult their embassy/consulate here to handle documents... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1421561 | 2016-06-11 05:49:00 | No, the uni wanted original NZQA papers. I sent an envelope with NZPost for $ 62.-, delivery in 4 days. Let's see when it actually arrives. | notechyet (4479) | ||
