subject: Send An Overseas Friend A Present Through The Post [print this page] When a friend moves abroad it can be difficult to keep in touch, but if you are careful not to lose your close ties you can find that your friendship can stay as strong as it was when they lived in the same country. You can chat on the phone and over the internet, but if you want to show that person that you really care posting them the odd present can be nice.
Getting a surprise present through the post is a fantastic feeling, especially if you really werent expecting it. It can be great to know that someone cares about you, and even if the present is only small both the recipient and the sender will feel better for it.
With the Christmas holidays coming up you may be thinking about sending your friend or family member living overseas a special present, so it is well worth your time investing in a reputable delivery company to get items to them in good condition. The last thing you would want is for your friends present to arrive damaged, as although it is the thought that counts it would ruin the present.
If what you are sending is quite delicate it is even more important that you have the added security of a trusted courier, as they will be able to get your parcel from mainland UK to its international destination with ease. Most couriers can deliver to almost anywhere in the world, and all you have do to find out if your parcel can be sent is to have a quick look online now.
International delivery prices really neednt be as expensive as you would expect either. There are a number of delivery options to choose from when sending parcels overseas, so you will be able to choose the best one for you.
If you need your parcel to get to your friend as soon as possible, ideally within just a couple of days, you should choose an express delivery method. Even this delivery choice isnt too expensive, and you will be able to use the tracking system that most couriers employ to check that your parcel is safely on its way.
Alternatively, if you have left yourself with lots of time before your packet needs to be at its destination, or there isnt a time limit on its arrival date, you can send it via surface mail. This can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to arrive but is no less secure.
