Good evening all
I have a moderately heavy parcel to send to relatives in Canada - on online postage Surface Mail is representing a good few quid's saving over Airmail.
Has anyone used this service before? I understand it can take up to 6 weeks to North America and this is not an issue? But is it otherwise reliable? Or is it a false economy and I'm better forking out the few extra quid for airmail?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Surface mail - any experiences?
No replies to original query but in case anyone interested the package was dispatched Monday 28 January via surface mail. It was delivered in Toronto, Canada today.harry84 wrote:Good evening all
