Shsdave Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Anyone help with this, sold a record to somebody in Switzerland & the buyer has asked for it to be sent as soon as possible. He's prepared to pay any extra costs for getting it asap. I just wondered if there was some kind of express service? I know the obvious thing is to go to a post office & ask but I'm at work & my nearest is about 30 minutes away & is closed by the time I leave. Anyone help ? Thanks Dave Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Brav Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Hi Dave. Fastest by Royal Mail is called Airsure and its supposed to be 1 day quicker than Standard Airmail, its also tracked and signed for and insured. It costs £4.50 plus your standard Airmail charge. Dont know how quick it will be as Royal Mail are on strike till tomorrow. Regards. Brav Edited October 30, 2009 by Brav Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Benji Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Whatever way you're going to send it, make sure you'll fill in the customs form and stick that on the parcel. Switzerland is not EU... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Switzerland is not EU... Switzerland is not EU... Yeah I'll do the customs form Benji thanks mate but does the Switzerland fact have any relevance ? I didn't think about whether it was EU or not Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I didn't think about whether it was EU or not Destination within EU = customs form not required Destination outside EU = customs form required If you forget to fill in the form parcel might be returned to you. You usually get away with it if sending to a european non-EU country like Switzerland but I'd be rather safe than sorry. Hope this helps... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
