You are so kind as to have done this for me. Needless to say, I still don't know where my SO is getting $250.

The size of the package matters as does the speed . When I sent the package to Jospeh it contained all my tax data and a copy of the pack and a ton of pictures and about 8 inches of phone bills.

my SO sent me the forms I needed via EMS in Nigeria... It cost like 50 bucks and they are reliable... He got a tracking number.. Once it gets to the state you can track it via USPS.com and it will be delivered by the post office. I got it within the time frame they told him. I know of several other's SO's used EMS with no problems...Hope this helps...

oh, also nothing he sent me needed notorized...

My SO says $250 because he went to the PO today. Sylvia n Joseph said that that is about right. Why is there such a big difference?

I guess it's just the carrier.. Have him check with EMS if its just the forms he is sending...My SO just sent me his in January and it was just 50 dollars... Its located in the same building as the Nigerian post office from my understanding.. But its not like the regular post office there, thank goodness.. you'd never see it then... lol...

I will have him check it out. Maybe he didn't know that EMS was a different service located in the same building. I am really hoping though. Thanks sooo much.

My SO just checked out the Benin City post office and he insists that Fed Ex is the cheapest way to go. The EMS service was even higher. Are you sure that he mailed it from Benin City? He can not find that price anywhere! I'm so confused. Lois

I paid 80 but my document went to lagos and back from there. MIght be different from Benin thoough. You can check yourself through Fedex website or call them . All the best....
