Sending Mail To Jamaica

[Denise617 0]

Hello All -

I was wondering if anyone has advice for sending a express delivery package to Jamaica. My fiances interview is in 8 day and I have to send him some forms in the mail. I've read on a few posts that sending mail to jamaica can be slow and also some mailings are held up in customs. Does anyone know a quick and easy way to send Docs with avoiding the possibility for them to be held in customs :help: ????

Thanks

When I sent papers through Fedex my fiance got them pretty quick. They even delivered right to his door. I was impressed. It was about $40 US to send for 3 day delivery.

Ditto - FedEx has worked well for us.

I used UPS and had similar experience. 2-3 days.

Paperwork doesn't get caught up in customs.

My regular USPS mail took exactly 8 days. From what I have heard, that is pretty speedy and not always the norm.

I agree I also used FedEx.

A year ago or more I sent forms via FedEx for $36 and he got them the next day

and regular mail has taken up to 2 weeks

Denise,

Federal Express (www.fedex.com) has an express guaranteed service (By 6 PM Jamaican time). I paid around $40 to send a document to the Embassy in Kingston. It cleared customs. In addition, I was able to track the package. The system has a signature image as well. Good luck to your fiance. The other option is DHL (www.dhl.com). My experience is that they have never been able to give me a guaranteed delivery time.

I would reccommend FedEx or even DHL as it seems to be faster!

Good luck on your interview!
