Smile It took 1 month plus

hi all just to let you know where in the middle of applying well we got the work assessment done a few months ago but last month we sent our application of we used someone called UPS INTERPARCEL cause it said it would get there in a week or less that cost us £35 and then every day you track it on net so to cut a long story short i was ringing the company everyday to see why it was stuck in a warehouse in aus they said something about paying taxes so we paided £111 extra and exspected it being released but it wasnt. anyway i was pregnant and went into hospial 4 weeks early through complication i was in a week before having her and in and out for a week after it.

well got home and it was still in the warehouse so we rang them and said we was going to sue them if it didnt get released that week and then it got released but i am just telling you this so no one else uses them. we could of been a month on with it now

any body else used the same peole and what do you think of the comany.

Rachael x

Good luck all

Hi Rachael
Poor you!
Firstly, hope everythings ok now with your new arrival! There's no better gift! The added stress of delayed application isn't what you when you've got a new baby to look after too! How awful that your application has been held up like that! You must be so mad! We've just sent off my skills assessment by DHL, you can track it's progress online too. It cost £30, and should be there within 3-5 working days. Sent it off on Fri, and last check it was in Sydney, and had passed clearance processing, so almost there!
Fingers crossed that your application gets there v.soon!

If you go to any staples store you can send by DHL but its more expensive than interparcel. I had a bit of trouble many moons ago using the UPS side of Interparcel and wouldnt do it again but have never had problems with the DHL side. I would give them another try they are pretty cheap and its only £20 if you use the document express!!
Heres my latest courier to Canberra (wont get there til Monday now though cos its a weekend)

Hi, I used DHL express for my meds (Sydney) and other info for Case Officer (Adelaide) both got there in 4 days. £60.00p meds and £52.00p for C/O. I didn't take any chances I just wanted it to get there safe and sound. Plus it can be tracked online all the way. I went to the DHL sorting office myself and got it checked there and then, and made sure it was stuck up in front of me. Even made out a big address lable (with c/o name and the 2 file numbers) to go my jiffi bag. Just to makethe sorting easy at the other end .

I hope this helps

Fred
