Whats the best way of getting my application to the ACS?
I have used two methods to get my documents to Australia: one was using the UK’s ‘Royal Mail International Signed For’ delivery, for about £8 – you get a polythene envelope and pre-paid postage for 0.5 kg . This method takes about a week for delivery to Australia and is tracked until it leaves the country. Unfortunately the package doesn’t need to be signed for at the other end (the service name therefore being something of a misnomer!), so you will never actually know for certain if it was delivered until you get an acknowledgement from the recipient. I was sending documents to my agent so had confirmation of arrival instantly. You won’t get that when sending directly to the ACS. The other method I used was www.interparcel.com. I chose the ‘DHL Document Only’ service. DHL collect the documents within a specified time window and will provide an envelope if you wish. If you package it yourself don’t bother sealing it as the courier may need to open the package and check the contents bef
