By the way, that’s the cost to send one piece of paper from the US to the UK. Unfortunately, I need to send it quickly and that’s the quickest I can get it there with the reasonable options I have available to me.

    I actually just had to send someone a passport recently and had the 12p or the 3p (15h) options. I picked the more expensive 12p and the fucking thing didn’t even show up until 2:38p anyway. Very annoying since it was around $130

      I thought I wouldn’t be able to get it to them by Monday, so if it gets there at some point on Friday… they won’t even send me info about it until a week from now at least. I’m trying to get my passport by the inauguration, but that may not be doable. And they now have my US passport. In theory, I can get emergency travel documents.

      They keep telling me to send another document and don’t tell me to send it the previous time. So fucked up. Just let me send it all at once.

      I’m told this is all due to the Tories.

        Well I doubt the worlds going to end if you can’t leave right away. Have patience as trying to speed run the system never works. Things take time to go through. Panic is rarely your friend.
