Registered Post - International

Few years back my cousin wanted to send a gift to her friend in Singapore. She asked me to find a cheap and reliable courier option. I went through many famous courier company sites and all were quoting very high price. We went ahead with a company which was offering the lowest prices.


Later I came to know about post office International Registered Post. The shipping price was just 30% of what we paid for private courier.


If you want to send a letter or a document or a small gift abroad, India Post Registered Post is the best option. You can choose unregistered post, but the odds are that it probably will not reach its destination. 


In my experience, unregistered letters reached only Poland and the USA. Of course I also tried sending  such letters to few other countries but they never reached them. If you want to be sure that your letter or package is sent safely, spend a little more money on a registered post. Trust me, it's worth it. 


Cost of a Registered Post


A small letter around 30 grams would cost 80/-. Price increases based on the weight.
