cyber_cynic Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I saw the recent thread about the contents of inbound mail disappearing. How about outgoing mail? I would like to mail a tennis racquet to Europe (France). What are the chances of it reaching it's destination if I use registered mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamphun Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Why don't you send a tennis ball and see if it bounces back ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boon Mee Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Why don't you send a tennis ball and see if it bounces back ... Maybe Gent can toss a boomerang and smack a septic! HA BTW, where is that old fart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up2U Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 What's wrong with DHL, UPS or Fed-Ex? Much more likely to arrive undamaged. But you maay have a tax problem (VAT, MOMS or whatever the Frogs call it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be a seriously valuable racquet to go to this amount of trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Outgoing registered mail pretty reliable, but agree with the other guys - use a courier. Possibly cheaper and quicker. With the major companies you can track where the item is from door to door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedKelly Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I would not recomend DHL. Blind robbers mate. I sent two boxes to Australia. they were only about a total of 15 kgs max and not that big really.....it cost the party at the other end.....A$830 !!!! Yes thats right more than 800 bucks !! F--- me that is highway robbery !! They could have bought a return air ticket almost for that amount. DHL must have sent it in business class passsenger service I think !! A holes !
