If you can find out where the nearest depot or agent for ups, dhl, fedex is to your mahal.
THe fedex depot was not far from my wifes town which made up the decision for me.

I have heard in some more remote areas only one or two of the major couriers have agents or classify it as there normal area. That or their deliver only on certain days in the area etc.

If just paperwork make sure you put down just documents, it stops tax being added to the parcel which sometimes the reciever has to pay.
