Document in Gibraltar needs to be in San Francisco

February 26, 2008 3:18 PM

I need a document that is in Gibraltar delivered to me in the US (via express delivery I guess) How do I do this? Is this what courier services do? Can anyone recommend one?

Specifically, I need a service that will send someone to the Gibraltar registrar's office (which will only mail stuff out via slow mail or in person) pick up the document and send it via Fedex or DHL or whatever to me in San Francisco. Is there such a service?

Have you called FedEx? They will probably do this for you.

And if FedEx won't, I would try these guys.

More specifically, Jonathan or Ashraf.

DHL ships world wide.

i think the problem is the vacapinta needs someone to go to the office. so, unless gibraltar office is willing to prepare the shipment for fedex (doesn't seem to be the case) i don't think fedex/dhl will work.

I was wondering if Purolator could solve your problem, but it looks like it only ships inside North America.

DHL all the way. They'll come pick it up anywhere they have offices (or at least they did this for me in Kinshasa, Dem. Rep. of Congo...)

DHL are the best at this. If non-U.S. to non-U.S., I hear TNT is comparable.
