If you really can't afford air mail then just don't get your hopes up on the parcel getting to your destination, look on it as more of a bonus or treat if it does ever arrive! --- Would you risk it, for a biscuit?

In the mean while if you get hold of a reliable shipping company which undertakes cargo transfer then you may send a huge package to France after getting the insurance done so you be on the safer side, but you will have to supervise the whole process by yourselfself till the package is not being loaded on the ship. ~Raj Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rrmurmu
