So the normal Royal mail service is out as I need the package to get there before February 14th. Not sure if they do a quicker service? So far the quickest/cheapest way I have found is with Bananadoo shipping company who use DHL etc and that will be £20 for 3-4 days for a small package.

Anyone have any better places/ideas?
i use royal mail to send things to minie in the philippines and it normally takes around 10 days to get to her. royal mail cliam it will take 5 days to get to the philippines then it depends on the mail service in the philippines. i normally go for the royal mail 'special delivery' service. so someone has to sign for the package. around 1.5kg package is around £22-£25 ish. the cards i have sent to her with royal mail have never gotten there that was using the normal royal mail service.
