Recently, I had to courier some documents to the United States and it cost me over MYR70. I am fine with the high cost because of its speed. If I wanted fast and secure delivery, I am prepared to pay for it.
After I sent out my documents, my recipient to me that my documents were incomplete and I would have to send additional documents over by fax.
I was like WTH? If he had told me earlier what were actually required, then I could have sent them all over by courier. My earlier package did not even hit 250grqams and there were plenty of room for that new stack of documents.
But no, now I have to fork out additional cost of the fax which is also all right for ten extra pages, but the problem is I have to apply from respective companies for these documents and this takes time for the documents to reach me. If I had known about it, I would have applied for them earlier and got my required documents completely way before today and send them all in one package without the additional fax charges *sigh*

I agree. I'm from the U.S. but I've spent a lot of time in Europe. It costs a crazy amount of money to overnight documents -- like 60 Euros for a few pieces of paper. In the U.S. it would cost $10.

Hi Jason,
Come to think of it, what I paid was actually about US$20. It took three working days to reach, though!
