I used DHL, expensive but much easier, they used to do a collection from home service but in the big cities there are offices, I thimk, you may have to look at alternative couriers.

We didn't have to send anything to the UK, it was all handled in Australia. Are you sure you're sending them to the right place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it must have changed as we have to send all documents to Sheffield, UK & they want you to put in a pre paid envelope so they can send you back their documents. My partner had his biometrics done today and they said we have to send them to Sheffield! 32 minutes ago, BacktoDemocracy said: I used DHL, expensive but much easier, they used to do a collection from home service but in the big cities there are offices, I thimk, you may have to look at alternative couriers. Did you have to give DHL a date on when they had to pick up the documents? we are thinking about just sending it with Australia post and not worrying about getting our documents back. We just don’t know what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I suggest ringing the consulate where he did the biometric interview, and asking them how people are supposed to provide the prepaid envelope. After all, every single person they interview must have to do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t too bothered if we don’t get our documents back as there’s nothing we actually need back & the passport gets sent back separately! Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again It seems from the web you might be able to buy International reply coupons, IRC's on ebay which are valid across the world, just make sure they are in date, don't know whether that helps, Aus post used to do them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look and they only do a maximum weight of 50grams & ours weighs more then that! What we are thinking is to get my brother who lives in the uk to send a Royal Mail pre paid international envelope to Sheffield once we have sent our documents. Probably the easiest and quickest way as we don't have much lee way between now and when we want to fly Thank you you for all your help, we are going to send them off soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
