BFPO parcels

[smokerjim]

Just a quickie from another forum I'm on, do the Falkland Islands fall into the category of BFPO's that allow parcels to be sent there for free? If yes, is there a weight limit?, if no, how much for various weights? Cheers ( on behalf of a squaddy going out there )

Although it has an BFPO address FI is not an operational posting so standard parcel rates apply http://www.royalmail.com/delivery/deliv ... ail/prices" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

IIRC only Op Herrick currently qualify. (but checking anyway)

But the Argies are showing renewed interest in the 'Malvinas' so you might get free postage soon.
