Any one had experience with sending stuff abroad?

Hi Hi

 

As anyone had experience sending stuff abroad? Preferably using the Royal Mail from the UK.

Be careful with payments.  I once tried to buy something from a UK company.  My bank (in the U.S.) froze the transaction, then sent a letter. I had to call them (from the number in the letter) and explain the situation to them.  Yes they were just being a good bank and looking out for their investors.  No, I never did get what it was I was after.  Depending on your bank, you might be better off telling them you'd like to make an overseas transaction beforehand.  Kindof a pain, but better than loosing a bunch of money to some overseas scheme.

They send you a letter? They do not have phones?

Apparently not.  No phones, of course, means no interwebz.  They are rather backward! That's a joke though.  They do actually have online banking which they are perpetually "improving" much to my disgust.

I've sent stuff both to the US and Holland (had to package the stuff extra good though, since our fucking postal service loves to treat packages like crap), but never to England. Though I did sent some letters back home when I studied there. Had no problems what so ever.
