Courier quote

Tusky

Any idea how much it would cost to get a courier to deliver an envelop from Dublin to Galway and would it be there by tomorrow ? Actually, If I swift post it this evening would it get there by tomorrow ?

Our work post doesn't leave until half five every evening and people around Ireland often have their letter/item the next day.

why dont you call a courrier

Approximately 5 groats by the fastest route posible, across the spine of the country via the Donkey Express.

Courier would rip you off, swift post if you can.

Although, I think the cut off for that is 4pm.

Tusky

If you swift post first thing in the morning will it get there the same day ?

stellarartois

Why are you wasting time posting on the internet if you're in such a hurry? ring them up.

No.

How urgent is it?

Try Fastway.ie

They go to Galway.

I'm heading to Dublin tomorrow if you want to give me the diamonds job application to bring down to Galway.

I actually am heading down though so if you're anywhere near Templeogue/Knocklyon, and your package is going to Galway City, I'll bring it.

Aw man, youve no idea what a massive favor that would be. I would pay you the same rate as a courier. I cant seem to get through to any of them.

AnonoBoy

Never trust Swiftpost.

I'm almost sure by paying the extra money you're just attracting attention to the package/letter thereby increasing the chances that An Post will mislay it.

Twice I've sent packages by Swiftpost which didn't arrive for three weeks.

Ya see, this is where this forum is needed.

It seems Kraggy wont make it down to Galway city by 5pm tomorrow. If anyone else is driving down from Dublin you would be doing me a massive favor by delivering an envelope for me. I would gladly throw a few quid your way. Its a long shot but Im desperate.

Galway & Dublin forums. Seriously. Ask the mods 1st. Don't want to be banned for trolling. :pac:

CrazyRabbit

Fax it.

Email it.

If that's no good, you could resort to carrier pigeons.

I'll give that a go, thanks.

Its the postgraduate applications center. I doubt they would let me fax my application. Although it would be seriously handy if they did. Retarded that you have to post stuff to Galway when applying to DCU.

Well that depends. What is it?

Scan and e-mail it like suggested, but attach an explanation to your e-mail. Tell them hard copy will follow on Monday. Might work?

Its a post graduate application form for a masters; personal statement and article. Around 5 or 6 pages in total. I was given incorrect information. Thought I could apply online through pac and drop the stuff into DCU. But it turns out the application stuff needs to be posted to Galway by tomorrow. The DCU website is really poor. There isnt a mention of that on it, which is quite frustrating.

Good idea. Might do that.

[edit] Actually, just realized - I could scan it, email it to someone in Galway and get them to hand it in. Wonder do I know anyone in Galway. Hrm.

Tusky PM me the collection address and delivery address. I can have it collected tomorrow and delivered on Tuesday morning for you if that is any help. Genuine offer.

Genuinely appreciate the offer but it needs to be there by 5pm tomorrow evening. I think I have a friend in Galway who can print it would and hand it in for me. Trying to get through to him now

Tusky

Good man, Ionad.
Here's a courier quote, as requested...
