Post in Duubai - how slow? Feb 07, 2007
Sent my academic certificate to my company by recorded delivery mail on 30/01/07. It left UK on 31/01/07 but still hasn't been delivered.

Is the postal service quite slow there? Is it normal? Just hope they havn't lost it as its the original certificate.

It was the postal service. but recorded delivery. It has to be signed for by the recipient.

Should have used a proper courier I think!

In the UK, the magazine I subscribe to would arrive before the end of the month.

Getting it sent here, it turns up sometime between the 15th and 20th of the month after.

You'd have been quicker using a carrier pigeon.

I should add sometimes it takes less than a week. It really depends, but coming from Europe it really is terrible when compared.

postal parcels and letters always go through the P.O.Box

as for courier parcels, they are door-to-door
