Do any international couriers deliver to PO boxes?

[AKSinghSingh79 143]

I'm trying to send my husband's application package to the UK to obtain his police certificates but both of their addresses are PO boxes.

I typically use FedEx but since they don't ship to PO boxes I'm out of luck there.

I can't stand to ship anything international, especially an envelope as important as this, without tracking. Does anyone know how I can ship something overseas to a PO box and still be able to get tracking? As far as I know USPS offers tracking only for domestic addresses.

Why not call or e mail them, explain the situation and ask them for a physical address, most places have them.

Infact on their webpage it says:

"Can I courier my application to you?

Yes, you can courier your application to us, but please contact ACRO Customer Services for instructions and details of how to do this and our drop off point. As we are a secure building, courier companies are unable to deliver directly to us, neither are courier deliveries accepted at either of the PO Box addresses."

USPS Express Mail can track international shipments.

USPS Express Mail can track international shipments.

Not to a UK PO Box though

Perfect! Thanks for the information. I just sent them an email.

Yes thank you

As far as the payment goes, I was able to get a foreign demand draft issued.

One more question in regards to sending the police certificates back. On the ACRO application form it listed Secure International Delivery as an option for £9.00 or international courier for £65.00. Obviously that is a huge price difference. I'm not sure what secure international delivery is but if it has tracking, I don't mind waiting an extra week or two. Do you recommend Secure International Delivery?

[fcat 79]

I think for International delivery the secure £65 one is the only option!! unless you arrange to have it sent to someone in the UK who can forward it to you or bring it over

It says on their website "If the delivery address is outside the United Kingdom the fee is £65.00 sterling"

have you read the FAQ on their website ? it pretty much answers everythgin youve asked.
